* Agenda - Planning Meeting - 2010-04-01:

    * Discussion with David Boswell (Mozilla Foundation) about the WoMoz
      Newcomers Team initiative
    * Newcomers Roadmap
    * Integration on mozilla.org Website
    * Update on womoz 2010 Roadmap: contacting community leaders (Delphine)
    * Overview: Video Subtitles (women in open source video) and
      Survey/Video idea


* Meeting Notes

    * Discussion with David Boswell
          o Getinvolved page: the newcomers channel should be the main
            thing there on that page (http://www.mozilla.org/contribute/)
          o The mozilla.org Getinvolved page could be the "main
            entrance" for newcomers. There could be a live chat there
            for instance, or any other way to highlight the newcomers
            team and channel on this page. We should start thinking of
            ways to work on this and on ways to integrate the newcomers
            team/channel inside of the mozilla.org website

    * Newcomers Roadmap
          o contact all of womoz members: who wants to help out on this?
          o determine the exact Roadmap for the Newcomers team with them
          o 8th of April: Contributors call with David about this
          o Think of ways to integrate the Newcomers initiative within
            mozilla.org. Then share this with the other members from
            each Mozilla team concerned by the newcomers initiative, to
            see how we can work on this with them, gather their feedback
            and ideas, etc. In April we can set up calls (twice a week)
            with these people from the different departments and see
            their opinions. Not just one person from each department but
            a many as they want
          o Share this with all the other womoz members to gather
            feedback as well
          o *Milestone*: we should have started the calls to gather
            feedback in April. The Newcomers Roadmap should be built
            before Whistler ideally (June).
          o At Whistler, combined with our other idea of "Helping Others
            with Giving Talks" training sessions, we will hold some
            training sessions for the future Newcomers tutors (setting
            up their newcomers team, how to explain the different
            projects that exist, explaining how to contribute to mozilla
            and the mozilla mission, etc) -> submit these sessions for
            the Whistler program

    * Integration on mozilla.org Website
          o Do a list like this for example for each main project:
                + DRUMBEAT: loca, QA, design, etc
                + Womoz: web design, localization, qa, dev, etc
          o maybe better to have a live chat directly when you arrive on
            the mozilla.org page (no use to install irc client, easier,
            faster, simpler)
          o feature projects every week, so that newcomers can jump on a
            project easily and quickly
          o put contact forms on another page: the newcomers team contacts
          o have tutors from all areas (marketing, evangelism, etc.) 2-3
            pp for each team
          o have a list of concrete projects ready and online, and
            inside each project the team of newcomers that are going to
            help them from the start
          o employees and community members / local leaders should be
            encouraged to be tutors
          o we need evangelism people and coding / development tutors
            (-> paul can seek community members, lukas blakk, anamaria,
            Miriam, etc.) - > important that the tutors be already
            comitters on Mozilla code
          o user interface tutors -> ask aza raskin for people
            interested in mentoring -> delphine will contact him
          o labs -> Aza Raskin can help out,-> Delphine will contact
            him; Pascal Finette: Alina will contact him
          o Drumbeat -> find people also, they have started running some
            projects (maybe matt thompson?)
          o find a person for every featured project in drumbeat as well
          o metric team: have stats about how much pp contribute on all
            the emails we receive? -> contact the people that don't
            contribute or stop contributing, set up a Survey to send
            them to find out why they didn't continue, what we can do
            better?
          o have the Mitchell Baker Tree on mozilla.org? (Idea from alina)
          o in general, let's try to underline more the Mozilla mission
            through the mozilla.org website. Brainstorming sessions
            could be held at Whistler on how to tell the Mozilla history
            and explain Mozilla mission. Gather feedback. Create a
            Template presentation for this and explain Mitchell's Tree

    * Update on womoz 2010 Roadmap: contacting community leaders (Delphine)
          o Gathering of feedback has started: mails sent to
            Localization Teams and Sumo team in order to identify the
            women contributors. Still some more mails to send: list of
            all Mozilla Communities still to be sent to
          o Very few women in these communities for the moment: 6 in
            all!!! (sumo and loca combined)
          o Analysis and stats will start once all mails sent and
            sufficient feedback gathered -> hopefully by mi-April / End
            of April

    * Overview: Video Subtitles (women in open source video) and
      Survey/Video idea
          o Finishing the transcription of Lukas Blakk's "Women in Open
            Source" Video at FOSDEM.
          o Localization of English text will then start (+/- 2 weeks)
          o Subtitles will then start rolling in
          o Concerning survey/videos: Gloria has 3 videos she is working
            on and that she will submit soon. We will then be able to
            concentrate on how to combine efficiently the survey and
            video idea in order to gather relevant feedback
