-> buzz around tech that we're involved with
-> training them; buzz, new contributors
-> larger one on one
-> african/middle east focus?  EU focus?
 
Mozilla changed carriers?
-> 800
test day: survey, how they hear about us, how effective is the video?
 
very explicit in getting involved
needed done rather than what to do
 
reaching versus what
what is the problem?
hard to know
what do we want a contributor to do
 
can grow into crit smash
 
How do I engage people/community?
- Personal blog
- blog
- product meeting
- planning meeting
- experiment; security
 
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mozilla.org/Contribute/Best_Practices
Release Engineering ;
LDAP
 
QA
 
when a code lands and then gets fixed, it becomes public.  Don't want to give attackers how to exploit it.
 
nominated and vouched for.
 
web page what talks about security
 
public channel #security
 
protect users from being exploited
learning resource
access to bugs, being able to see code
having some kind of followups to fix the bugs.
blog posting when there's a bug fix.  review bugs, brief description of the issue.
rss subscribe to the feed.
advisory (sent out 6)
 
- recent blog post on people quitting mozilla
- her goals are to communicate direction of mozilla
- forum
- gecko
- conversation with community leads; not just regional leaders, but functional leads, ideally we invite people with influence/reach, wants intimate, candid conversations
- have a list of people : people don't feel like their opinions/thoughts are heard.  forum for leadership.  Mozcamp Asia, Mozcamp Europe followup
There's bound to be attrition; can't change everyone's opinion
- how can we improve
- survey; asa was the straw that broke the camels back?  harsh?  people get tired of being mistreated?  saying things the right way?
it is harder to have your voice heard. 
 
- build it with us.  say the roles; communicating what we do
- document well with what they are doing and public
- actively seek, ask for feedback; dilute the communication at the end
- being transparent at what we're doing
- give easy channels
- being part of the process
- bidirectional communication
- interactive channels
- direction of our organization
- rapid release cycle; get on board, get off board?
- well defined channels ; soliciting input in a way that makes sense
- for what we need and what we don't need
- feedback fatigue
- how do you go better, how do you communicate better
- time for free.  communication is necessary
- communicate better
- posting things to planet, vague; we could be doing -> targeting the communication for feedback for localizations.  Target people.
getting feedback specific things.
 
works when people are smaller group, but now that we're bigger, we have to change how we do things
 
business is different in different country
 
several contributors have mentioned some comments; the power of decision has an impact on morality.
 
How to pick a bug, how to contribute, personalities ->
low hanging fruit?  point them based on personalities
 
streamline -> personalize tasks by personality?
profiling app?  quiz and drill down -> contact info


reduce the feeling of being ignored for long time contributors
* Casey to report back with a write-up of his experiences of starting to contribute to webdev
vs new contributors
