Mozilla Reps
- Organize or participate in Mozilla community events
- Represent Mozilla at conferences and speak on Mozilla’s behalf
- Manage local PR relations
- Mentorship --> lead local training workshops
- Communicate, blog and document all activities
- Liaise regularly with Mozilla project teams
NB: in the initial phase of the Mozilla Reps program, members of the provisional council were designated by the ReMo project leads (William and Pierros) based on a specific different criteria, notably on geographic location and on the member's level of participation in early brainstorms of the program. Now that the Mozilla Reps has reached mature stage, an election/designation or rotation system has been introduced to select the next members of the Mozilla Reps Council, going forward.
Beyond the Mozilla Reps Program
Mozilla Reps Council members are by definition extremely experienced and accomplished Mozilla volunteers who have a deep commitment to the project and as such, the Mozilla Reps Council believes that they should logically participate in strategic decision-making at the organizational level.
Mozilla Reps is still a relatively new program so our focus has until recently been to define the best growth path for Reps within the program (ie. Rep --> Mentor --> Council Member). Now that the program is reaching maturity, we have been spending more time exploring a growth path for Reps beyond the program and into higher circles of leadership. Stay tuned for regular updates on this.
