First Selection Meeting
Today was the first selection meeting we conducted to review requests of the community program. Rather than evaluating each case as it comes in, we are now filling a pipeline of proposals that will be looked at occasionally by a committee and decided by consensus. The group represents a good cross-section of the Mozilla organization, and comprises those who know the organization well and have been following the developments of this program.
The first selection meeting was very productive because we agreed on how to support some contributors while also thinking about how to promote some larger concepts that have been brought to our attention that will help develop the community. Once we have finalized everything, I’ll post a more descriptive update.
Hi,
I would have a suggestion to make.
Apart from the localization task, l10n teams have their own Web site for communication, products that are not yet on the l10n repository, their own cvs, blog, wiki and support forums.
The difficulty for them is to keep the applications they used up-to-date, in terms of security flaws. Some local community portals have already been defaced and though they are not official Mozilla portals, they still represent a part of the Mozilla community, and such defaces are not good for Mozilla brand image.
So, I thought that the MoFo could provide some infrastructure to host these local Mozilla portals (for those who want to), something a la Sourceforge.net, with a set of provided applications and for which security matters would be handled by a sysadmin.
Well, it’s just an idea.
Regards
