Community Workshops

• Overview & Goal:

Give the community access to parts of the Mozilla projects other than l10n, through a series of workshops that will give new volunteers the appropriate training and tools to contribute to Mozilla.

• Audience:

We will develop this initial pilot program with Mozilla Tunisia and hopefully roll it out to other interested communities. Mozilla Tunisia will be launching a university starting in Dec. 2011 so hopefully we could target those workshops to students as early as Q1 2012.

• Process:
  • Identify technical leads within Mozilla Tunisia that would be interested in owning a specific workshop
  • Assess overall technical knowledge for each workshop lead
  • Create an internal Engineering Committee to assist with the development of those workshops
  • Bring guidance to the community and clear milestones to keep the community engaged afterward
  • Create clear processes on how to get involved and opportunities available for each team/workshop

• Potential areas for the workshops:
  • SUMO (Michelle Luna)
  • QA (Tony Chung, Marcia Knous, and Stephen Donner)
  • Web Security (Michael Coates)
  • Jetpack & add-on development
  • Engineering (FFx and Platform)
