Getting to a Million Mozillians

Here are some tips and suggestions for people who are interested in learning more about bringing new contributors in to your project.

• Who: You have volunteers involved in your project and you'd like to turn up the dial on participation
  • Create a contribution dashboard to give you insight about where you can improve the experience for volunteers
  • Contact the Open Badges team and start a discussion about creating badges for your contributors
  • Get involved in a community building working group to help shape the infrastructure for participation at Mozilla

Speakers

The limit is 3 minutes per speaker. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation. If you plan on showing a video, you need to contact the Air Mozilla team before the day of the meeting or you will be deferred to the next week.
