nalexander:community update, part the second

The part of my job that is special — the part I wouldn’t get working away from Mozilla — is enabling community contributors to participate in and own the direction of Fennec (Firefox for Android). Recently I’ve had success attracting and retaining high-value contributors by offering medium-sized projects that let me and a contributor collaborate on an area of the code base over time. In part the first I talked about my motivation and discussed my approach. This post is a companion post: first a status update and then an offer of projects to the community.

nalexander:community update, part the first

The part of my job that is special — the part I wouldn’t get working away from Mozilla — is enabling community code contributors to participate in and own the direction of Fennec (Firefox for Android). Recently I’ve had success attracting and retaining high-value code contributors by offering medium-sized projects that let me and a contributor collaborate on an area of the code base over time. I want to write a few words about why I’m doing this and what I’m doing. In part the second, I give a status update and advertise a variety of new projects to the community. If you’re interested, contact me!
