More Frequent Mozilla Emails in 2013! (Ben Simon) (5 Mins)- Links and context:
- Blog post: <a href="http://engagingopenly.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/2013-mozilla-email-program-evolution/">http://engagingopenly.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/2013-mozilla-email-program-evolution/</a>
- Basic idea: We want to send more frequent emails about a broader set of things than we did last year.
- So, not just around big actions (SOPA, Summer Code Party, MozFest) or list-growth campaigns (Webmaker Quiz), but also other things geared more toward story-telling, cultivation, and engagement. Still needs to be broadly appealing, but we would love your ideas!
- Some potential topics:
- –A description of a really cool event someone put on, that makes putting on an event sound cool and fun to others
- –a couple of new projects get added to Webmaker
- –The Webmaker gallery launches
- –Valentine’s Day Lovebomb
- –Something changes about Collusion
- –Firefox OS takes a noteworthy leap
- –Something else Product-Y that we can offer a bit of promo to
- –Awesome standalone graphics (like the Mozilla in 2012 graphic that we sent at the end of the year)
- –A community input pitch at a key moment
- –Etc.
- So, please add any ideas you have! The hope is to have this be roughly weekly, so the more thoughts the merrier. Add any ideas here:

- NOTES & COMMENTS
- QUESTIONS
- If we're going to send more frequent emails, can we make the emails shorter? Sometimes they feel a little long.

2013 Resolutions: Updating our Webmaker communications practises- In 2013, let's update and clean up our communications practises a bit :)
- Newsgroup mail and documentation coming on this, but in the mean time, heads up on two bits in particular:
- 1) Use #webmaker for IRC
- We're still using #foundation to talk about #webmaker stuff
- Let's make a point of using #webmaker instead (and wind down / discontinue #foundation)
- 2) Use #webmaker for all tweets
- Please use #webmaker for all Webmaker-related tweets

NON-VERBAL UPDATES:
From Monday's AllMoz meeting comes a one time chance to connect with the elusive and mysterious Mark Surman! It's a good chance to share our thoughts and interests with our MoCo friends. Here's what you need to know:
Fireside Chat with Mark Surman, Executive Director of the Mozilla Foundation.
We'll be recording a fireside chat with Mark Surman (Executive Director of the Mozilla Foundation) next week, where he will be answering your questions. The chat will be asynchronous to make sure no-one misses a beat (i.e. we'll collect questions beforehand, have them answered and recorded in a podcast format and then we'll host a follow-up discussion).
Add your questions here:- <a href="https://etherpad.mozilla.org/fireside-chat-with-mark">https://etherpad.mozilla.org/fireside-chat-with-mark</a>
