Background
This project is based on the Open Innovation strategy research project, and informed by the D&I community research, as well as additional interviews & research with key staff members and volunteers.
This project was formerly known as "Non-coding Enthusiast communities and contributors".
Who’s Involved
The project is being driven by - Lucy Harris & Ruben Martin (with support from George Roter)
The decision-maker is - George Roter
Agreement is to be sought from - Katharina Borchert, Patrick Finch, Chris Beard, Mitchell Baker and the Reps Module Owner
Input & Consultation- Reps Council + Peers , Reps Community Managers, SUMO Community Managers + key volunteers, L10N Community Managers + key volunteers, Haiyya, D&I Staff, Mozilla Foundation Staff.
Approach
The approach is to generate two documents
- A proposal that clearly outlines the impact of Mission-Driven Mozillians communities and proposes an a cohesive approach to investment to Mozilla Leadership
- A strategy and roadmap for implementing structures and processes to optimize the health and impact of Mission-Driven Mozillians communities.
The proposal is generated by the input group and shared with decision makers for feedback.
The strategy is generated through a series of discussions with members of Mozilla communities.
Both proposal & strategy will be based around the following 11 topic areas:
- Regional/local/geographic identities: Approach, formation, visibility
- Diversity and Inclusion: How do we ensure D&I across everything we do?
- Metrics: How do we measure activity across all areas?
- Accountability: What are the expectations around accountability in different volunteer and staff roles?
- Volunteer Leadership: How do we approach leadership roles?
- Recognition: What’s our strategy for recognizing and motivating contributors?
- Systems - tools & Comms: What’s the strategy around the tools that enable contributions? How do we communicate with volunteers?
- Opportunity Matching: How do we surface, present and decide on opportunities to contribute?
- Competitive Advantage: What are the key factors where contributions provide a unique value? How do we leverage them?
- Staff Support: What’s our strategy around community-facing staff and workflows?
- Onboarding: How do we welcome and approach volunteers into their first contribution?
