Skills and Activities

At the moment we are focusing our efforts on the bug triage side of the project, we have current around 800 open bugs to get through, however please find an area within the team that interests you and jump in. If you're interested in wiki writing then feel free to edit the pages and neaten up the place a little:) Please take a look at the [:MozillaTeam/Roadmap:ToDo List] to see where you can help out.

After you have chosen your area, the best way to continue is to develop your knowledge in that area. Perhaps write a wiki page outlining processes for new members of the team to follow in your footsteps.

A few examples of how you can help: branding, localization, artwork, multimedia plug-ins, flash issues, java issues, gui consistency, stability, security...

That's really about it, just remember to have fun and if you get stuck, no-one will bite you for asking a question.

Membership

A member is someone who's made a substantial contribution to the Ubuntu-MozillaTeam community and who has explicitly agreed to the code of conduct. Members play an essential role in MozillaTeam governance and confirm, by vote, all nominations to the Mozilla Council. They may also be called upon to vote on resolutions put to the members by the Mozilla Council. Sorry we can't assign email addresses, but by becoming a MozillaTeam member you are well on your way to Ubuntu Membership.

Membership lasts for two years, and is renewable. If you don't renew your status as a member you will join the "inactive members" list. Membership can be reactivated at any time after it has lapsed, on request and with the confirmation of the Mozilla Council.

Qualifying for Membership

A person who wants to become a member should be engaged in a sustained level of contribution to the MozillaTeam. This can include branding, localization, artwork, multimedia plug-ins, flash issues, java issues, gui consistency, stability, security.... Contributions should be significant and visible. Anybody who is active in the Ubuntu-MozillaTeam community is a good candidate for MozillaTeam membership.

Becoming a Member

Anyone who feels they are qualified and wishes to become an Ubuntu Member should follow these guidelines:

1. Document your work on your home page on the Ubuntu Wiki. This can include links to code, mailing list messages, or wiki pages. It can also include narrative descriptions.
2. Add yourself to the Mozilla Council Agenda and link to the your page
3. If it is convenient, come to the next Mozilla Council meeting.
4. Upon approval by the council, you will need to "sign" a copy of the Code of Conduct. This can be done in three ways:
   1. A signed (i.e., with a pen) paper copy FAXed to Benjamin Mako Hill at (+1) 815.361.7509.
   2. A cryptographic (GPG) signature on the text of the code itself sent to Benjamin Mako Hill
   3. A cryptographic (GPG) signature on the Code of Conduct in your Launchpad account.

If any potential member wants help or a review of their application before a Mozilla Council meeting, they are strongly encouraged to contact David Farning or any member of the Mozilla Council.

If a person is not (yet) known and the council is not comfortable confirming them, they will be encouraged to fill out their wiki page and to gain testimonials from existing members they have worked with and then to resubmit their application again at a subsequent meeting.
