Connected Communities
Mozilla Connected Communities
What is Connected communities all about?
Regarding the name: connected "communities" is apt because we're taking an
initiative NOT ONLY to connect and form a network of spaces that support
open source activities But also, to connect the communities that these spaces foster.
Assuming,that these spaces might also be used by other open source communities
or maybe otherwise for their own proceedings and meetings.
Connected communities shall serve the purpose of :
- 1.forming a space directory thus enabling and making it easier for mozillians to conduct events, proceedings etc.
- 2.Reaching out and targeting contributors who do not fall under the
- category of students,etc (who can be found in mozilla clubs).
- 3. Increasing diversity in age groups other than just a majority of students..
- 4. Recognition to spaces doing the good work.
- i.e. leveraging their services or for the matter just their space*
Space directory : [please fill in the information about the spaces which fit the criteria as per mentioned.](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe-XwTTDVEPlh_guAnLodvPTfk2nzr_xjPbbwmNqx5-fPcucw/viewform)
Who should join this program?
It is open for all who are members or not the members of our Mozilla
community(yes, they can surely be your friends from Python community,
Debian, Fedora, or anyone) across the globe who are passionate about
connecting us to these communities/spaces and be a connecting member
between both community and also Mozilla.
“The sole aim is to work and collaborate together with all the communities who contribute to Open source & drive the community further with better resources and maybe skilled volunteers?.”
