Contribution Paths
What are the steps someone can take to get involved in your project and learn enough to be able to start scratching their own itch?
1. Review the information on the program management wiki page including the active programs and projects and the way in which they're being managed.
2. Identify a program or project that interests you. You can work off of the programs and projects listed on the program management wiki page or suggest a new initiative.
3. Due to the nature of program management the team of program managers is in close contact. Get in touch with the community of program managers to introduce yourself on the dev-planning mailing list or on irc channel #pm.
4. Scratch your own itch
Goals
The program management team is working to engage the community in the management of various Firefox initiatives. This is a great opportunity for community members to:
- understand the overall Firefox project
- get involved with senior leadership of the Firefox project
- broaden your skill set - program management requires skills to bridge the gap between the technical and business sides of a project
