Early Stage Discussions

A good question arose from my last post that some may have seen:

In the early phases of the discussion, there was the plan to have multiple channels/processes for this community giving project. What’s the current thinking on that?

We plan to start with some communities we know could use support, like Q/A teams, software developers, and localizers. We’ll find out what they need by contacting them. But, this is only a first step to see how the program will function. After we have reached out to our contributors, we’ll then seek other means to provide support. That might mean creating a mechanism for nominating ideas that Mozilla should support. It may also mean bringing together Mozilla contributors for volunteer summits that will help foster support and development of projects. We’ll start reaching out to volunteer contributors this week to begin the process of discovering their needs.
