Your required text does not appear to be correct

As of January 1 2019, Mozilla requires that all GitHub projects include this CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file in the project root. The file has two parts:

1. Required Text - All text under the headings Community Participation Guidelines and How to Report, are required, and should not be altered.
2. Optional Text - The Project Specific Etiquette heading provides a space to speak more specifically about ways people can work effectively and inclusively together. Some examples of those can be found on the Firefox Debugger project, and Common Voice. (The optional part is commented out in the raw template file, and will not be visible until you modify and uncomment that part.)

If you have any questions about this file, or Code of Conduct policies and procedures, please reach out to [email protected].

Add a nice example to help people understand!

We can link to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/websites/ in our footer. It explains Mozilla's usage of Google Analytics.

I'd like to explain how we're training new leaders to help us fuel the movement for the health of the Internet. We're working together to guard the open nature of the internet. Working Open is at the core of many of the issues that face the health of the Internet today: Privacy & security, web literacy, digital inclusion, decentralization, and open innovation.

Thoughts / suggestions welcome!

Should this go in the README instead? I should have time to work on this within the next few weeks.

This maybe an odd section/thought but I think some leaders have recruitment issues. This can lead to the leader working on the project by themselves which could lead to a (quickly burnout leader and) a project that dies quickly. I don't know if this related to that social network section though.

As there have been non-technical projects in the training, some people aren't sure about where they can use Github. My idea is to have sessions on online project management and collaboration tools/ strategies/ best practices.

Notes for video:

• What this meant for the person, and the project

Hi @acabunoc

Filling in the Open Canvas for OL7. Nice work!

I have a slight improvement you can consider, and that is to address each quadrant with a paragraph of explanatory text, adding additional rationale to having the quadrant, in order to help people interpret them correctly.

For instance:

• Problem quadrant: Do I only mention product-/community-related external problems (probably), or also internal ones. E.g. external: "Most people are unaware of harms of technology and how they affect them" and internal: "Though project members express worry about tech harms, it is very hard to activate them to work on their solutions".

• Key metrics: Should metrics be quantitative, qualitative or even subjective (e.g. "Frequent mention of our community in authoritative newspapers")

Just a tip. The paragraphs can be very short.

points to cover:

VIDEO: CODES OF CONDUCT

• this is perhaps one of the most important documents you’ll create
• working open is about the relationships you create; example of how diversity has super-powered a project
• this document encourages those relationships & your community to be healthy and positive
  Inclusive language means broad participation, which will strengthen your project

FYI: The following changes were made to this repository's wiki:

• defacing spam has been removed

• Restricting write access to contributors is strongly encouraged. Please make that change (documentation).

These were made as the result of a recent automated defacement of publically writeable wikis.

Looks like mofo bootstrap updated -- so a few things look weird. We should consider locally serving mofo bootstrap

Things that I've noticed:

• font page title missing
• font generally smaller on article pages
  

OR we can

• switch back to old bootstrap

This media piece should communicate:

• Many different REAL people sharing their visions and articulating their goal starting with the statement: “I’m working to…”
• The range of ideas and goals people are working throughout the Mozilla Leadership Network
• The scope and scale of the network, the diversity
• That it’s exciting to be doing this, you’re not alone, and lots of things are possible!

Should add a simple recipe to CONTRIBUTING.md or so that explains how to render things locally so you can see what you did before it goes live.

I have a feeling there is one node package that does it all, but can never remember.

There are lots of resources for learning GitHub. link them here!

Possibly add:

• contributor covenant
• any examples from WOW http://mozillascience.github.io/working-open-workshop/code_of_conduct/

I'm getting a lot of feedback that more modular lessons would be helpful since projects are at different stages / different domains. Let's go through and remove language requiring each module to be done sequentially.

Right now the menu is always visible and it takes up a lot of space in mobile view. Would also be fun to have the same menu animation as science.mozilla.org.

A lot of people contributed to this before it was moved to GitHub! @chadsansing, @zee-moz, and all the reviewers they had!

We should collect all the names and thank them in the README or maybe a special file (humans.txt?)

The footer .row class is not inside the .container-fluid element.

based from http://getbootstrap.com/css/:

Rows must be placed within a .container (fixed-width) or .container-fluid (full-width) for proper alignment and padding.

Bug Line 31

Hey everyone, there was a need at Mozilla for an Open Leadership Training that is:

• much shorter (~1 to 1.5 hours) and more basic than the OLTS
• for people who are just learning about open, Mozilla, and how engage with projects and the organization
• an initial experience that help people decide that the larger OLTS is for them (or not)

So I edited down a few sections of the OLTS, added a bit of spin and new content, and here's a draft: OLTS Jr. Comments welcome!

Do you think recommending this as a prerequisite could allow us to shorten the OLTS and go deeper on certain topics?

Link: http://mzl.la/whyopensource

Not sure if there's a good place to link this, but I forgot about this excellent resource put together by the Participation team.

The links mentioned under the video ' A Working Open Example - STEMM Role Models, Kirstie Whitaker' for mozilla club and stemmrolemodels are no longer available.

It seems that GitHub now has a tool for project management. Would it be worth it to add a section on the topic as it relates to leadership?

I don't remember reading about delegation, but if it's already in, please close this request.

But this section is really more for when the current leader retires and needs to pass on the leadership on to the next person who is ready. Of course in other places where delegation is needed.

If possible, I'm willing to make a pull request to add my sustaining-it branch to the main repo where these experimental sections can be written. Or I can work with those who want to write these in my own fork and then make the requests myself.

@flukeout can you do a brief review of this some day? https://mzl.la/open-leadership

Tips on video creation

This video should:

• Point out that open source software may/is be a familiar concept
• Explain that the concept of a license to share can for apply to many kinds of works
• Give examples: learning materials to data visualizations to image libraries to raw data
• Reiterate why you’d share: to amplify impact and improve your project via contributions you might not be able to make or plan for on your own.
• We encourage you to share widely! Choose a license to make it clear what kinds of sharing are allowed
• A GREAT SHARING STORY HERE?
• Why the project decided to share
• Who used the content or code and how
• What that felt like
• How the impact was defined]

Tips on video creation

This video should communicate what it means to facilitate, lead, and model learning at an event by

• Asking questions.
• Taking risks.
• Failing forward.
• Pursuing lines of personal inquiry related to the project.
• Learning from everyone, not just the perceived “authorities” in the room.

In " Mozilla And The Firefox Creation Myth, Mark Surman" video, the x-axis of his "Browser Wars" graph is cut off. I know it's minor but it might be needed.

We should update links

Just wanted to make quick suggestion following the call to help improve this great document...

My vision is poor and I often need to zoom up sites or even manually disable the custom fonts with inspector.

The font on this page is very hard for me to read - letters are too thin and spaces between letters are too narrow:
https://mozilla.github.io/open-leadership-training-series/articles/readme/

It became more readable when I disabled the custom fonts, so I've thought other people with poor vision could benefit from making it easier (since not everyone knows how to do it with inspector).

Thank you for your consideration.

Tips on video creation

Video: How do you know if working open works? (2 minutes)

How does a successful project look, sound, and feel? This video should communicate

• How to identify and measure successful product outcomes from open projects.
• How to identify and measure successful community outcomes from open projects.
• Ideas for scaling and spreading successful project.

Create a HTML snippet for displaying images and captions in a consistent way. Some discussion here: #30 (comment)

A bit like the HTML snippet that exists for embedding video.
