NDA and Slack Access

As of February 2018 volunteers who have signed Mozilla's Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) can be invited by an NDA Admin to sign up to Slack via SSO using their Github identity and have the same level of access as staff. You can see if a Slacker is a staff member or a volunteer by clicking on their Slack profile

What do I commit to when I join Slack?

As a Mozilla space, staff and volunteers are required to follow the Community Participation Guideline in all of their interactions on Slack, failure to abide by the CPG may result in temporary or permanent loss of access.

However Slack is a microcosm of Mozilla's professional environment has norms and etiquette expectations beyond the CPG, you can find the full guide here.

How long does Slack access last:

Having a valid NDA is a prerequisite for slack access and your access will only last as long as you are a member of the NDA group. To find out more about NDA expiry click here.

What happens once I get my invitation:

Once you receive your invitation, please read the Community Participation Guidelines, and the etiquette guide and think about how you will contribute in a healthy and constructive manner before you agree to its terms. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to your inviter!

Once you have accepted the terms of the Guidelines you will:

• Be able to sign up to slack via SSO using your Github identity
• You will have access to all public channels.

If at any point you have any questions jump into the #slack-onboarding channel or reach out to your inviter.

Who Can Join Slack?

Slack access is available by invitation to individuals who are deeply involved with Mozilla and are known and trusted by the administrators of a Mozilla Community. Groups like Reps, L10N, Security and SUMO each have their own procedure for determining who should receive Slack access. Staff can also nominate contributors to join slack if they believe that a volunteer would benefit from having the capacity to synchronously communicate through Slack. Here is the information for each of these groups.
