Idea to spread Mozilla

I was thinking, maybe ReMo members should do an IAmA on Reddit to spread
the word of Mozilla online. Webdev and security have done it, so it might
be cool to have us do one.

I suppose I should explain what an IAmA is. Basically, people/groups of
people post on Reddit saying something like "IAmA security guard. AMA"
which means: I am a security guard, ask me anything. I think we could find
some good contributors from there, show the world what Mozilla really is,
and if nothing else have some fun.

Let's do this Tanner. So, how do we go about this?

(whee, I totally screwed up email structure!)
I think a first good step, if we do it, is to figure out who is going to do
it. Just ReMo members, or anyone in the community who wants to? I
personally think that latter would be good, "We are Mozilla, ask us
anything" sounds pretty cool :-)
Next, after we decide who, a when needs to be decided. They post "major"
IAmAs in the sidebar, and I think this would qualify as that
(webdev/security did!).
After that, we would probably message the moderators of the subreddit and
tell them all the details, give them some verification, whatever else they
need.
Then we do the IAmA.
In theory.

I like the idea!
I think we can do both: a IAmA Mozilla Reps (focusing on what a Rep does, their responsibilities etc..) and a IAmA Mozillian (focusing on what it means to be part of the Mozilla community)

We should also set up some guidelines as to what community members should
answer, what employees can, etc.

A few teams in Mozilla have done this in the past so it's definitely OK
to do it, see:
blog.mozilla.com/webdev/2012/01/20/today-mozilla-webdev-ask-me-anything-ama-on-reddit/
www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/oonrg/iama_member_of_the_mozilla_webdev_team_ama/
I think getting this to happen looks something like:
* Pick a date & get a list of people & timezone coverage (perhaps with
areas of knowledge)
* get confirmed via Reddit (that you are indeed who you say you are)
* blog/tweet/facebook that this 'event' is happening
* spend your day answering the valid questions, ignore trolls
Cheers,
Lukas

the difference with teams though is that they know the right answers
to things, and some people have some press training. We just have to
be careful that we answer questions about ourselves and our project
and direct people who want answers on things like the Google revenue
agreement to the right people, rather than making what could be
mistaken as an "official" answer.

That 's a good point Lucy makes. We need to make sure that the entire IAmA is focused on the Mozilla Reps and their activities/responsibilities/projects etc..
