+==what's the goal of this workshop?==
+Designing for Participation was created in order to get Mozilla community members to think about how they can structure the work Mozilla does to better enable contributions from anywhere. As such the workshop has three goals:
+*impart on participants some best practices about how to design tasks to better enable participation
+*foster a conversation where best practices and ideas can be surfaced and critically assessed, particularly around how suggestion may or may not be relevant to areas the participants work on
+*provide participants with action items they can take back to where they contribute to Mozilla that will help increase opportunities for participation from community members
+*share differing experiences around the possibilities and obstacles to participation between managers, employees, staff, volunteers, newcomers and veteran contributors.
+==who should participate?==
+Almost anyone at Mozilla should feel like this is open to them. "Roles" that might want to participate or lead this workshop include:
+*module owners
+*newcomers
+*veterans
+*staff
+*volunteers
+*managers

 *I need to expand the scope of our work without increasing the financial resources I have
 *I'm a manager and I'd like some tools for thinking about how to evaluate how effectively those who work for me create space and opportunity for community participation.
+*I'm a contributor and I'd love to expand how much I contribute or have been trying to explore new parts of the project to contribute to with little success.
