[Womoz] Newcomers channel - helping people to get involved with Mozilla

[Alina Mierlus]

Hello all,

  At FOSDEM, during the 2nd day of Womoz workshop we discussed about
creating a channel of community leaders in order to help
new people to get involved in the project (to help them find the appropriate
project, area, etc.). Since then I've been working with
Delphine and other people to develop this idea into a more concrete concept.
  As you probably saw from Delphine's last call notes, we have been
discussing also with David (MoFo) to see how we can
integrate the existing contribute group (mozilla.org Get Involved page) with
the newcomers channel.

  I think that the next step would be to identify active community members
(and community leaders) who may help on building this
"newcomers" channel. Then, we can work together on searching for the best
methods to offer answers and guidance to people
interested in contributing.
  This is currently happening on marketing list as there are some active
marketing contributors helping the newcomers.
  Anyway, I would love to have feedback on this and start a discussion here,
for the moment.

Cheers,
Alina
