Mentorship is an essential component of the Mozilla Reps program. It is the backbone of the program. Mentors decide who to accept into the program and ensure that their "mentees" (Reps) fulfill their responsibilities. They do this by:

  • Reviewing applications assigned to them on Bugzilla
  • Interviewing applicants to learn more about them, and tell them more about the program
  • Informing applicants whether or not they've been accepted to the program
  • Monitoring the progress of their "mentees" and being their regular contact person in the program
  • Reviewing and validating their Reps with swag and budget requests
  • Providing feedback to the Council
  • Participating in regional meetings (online and offline), notably the annual ReMo Camp.

Keep bugs tidy
Please make sure that within the process the application bug is up to date with the progress and reflects the steps as noted below

1) Being assigned an applicant

Once an applicant has submitted their application form, a bug is created on bugzilla that is triaged by William and Pierros. If this applicant has been selected for the next round, William and Pierros might assign this applicant to you, by assigning you the bug. If this is the case, you will receive an email informing you of this and will be able to access the bug.

3) Orientation Period

After an applicant has been approved to join the program, he or she has a period of working closely with their mentor to get started as a rep. During this period (called the "Orientation Period) a mentor will help the applicant:

  • Take the first steps in becoming a rep, including returning a signed agreement and filling out a rep profile
  • Learn their responsibilities, such as completing monthly reports
  • Get started attending and planning events in their local area

The duration of the orientation period from one Rep to the next. A mentor also decides when a Rep is ready "graduated" from the orientation period. Learn more...

4) Post-Orientation Period

Mentors continue to work with their Reps even after the orientation period. Mentors are tasked to always:

  • Monitor their Reps' monthly reports
  • Review and validate their Reps with swag and budget requests (see Tools & Resources)
  • Nominate their reps for appropriate recognition and rewards
  • Answer any questions or help with any issues/problems their Reps may have
