Dear Mozilla Reps,
I hope that you are all well,
Let me start by writing to thank you all for your trust and support during
the council campaigns and elections. Our unity and commitment to this cause
has brought us this far.
Allow me to also congratulate Lawrence and Ibraahima for becoming mentors.
As you can see the family is growing. As you all know, mentors and council
members nominate reps to become mentors as such if you believe that you
have reached that level where you can mentor others, please share your
experiences and activities with either your mentor or other mentors within
this community and beyond and they will follow up and nominate you
accordingly.
The principle aim of writing though is to begin a discussion thread on
growing our communities in Africa. I'm currently not sure yet how many
communities we have but would love to know more about the different
communities and challenges that they are facing as well as the success'
that they have achieved so far.
I have created this etherpad:
https://etherpad.mozilla.org/communities-in-africa
I also wanted to find out your opinion as to whether you think it would
help to have a community steward in charge of African communities as
something we can push for. Ideally, the east asian communities have Gen,
the hispanos have a number of staff and I guess it is something that would
help Africa too.
The move is towards regional meetups/mozcamps and we will have to do one
for Africa. We need to begin to think in that direction and plan for this
accordingly.
Finally, I would love to re-echo that for this one year, I'm your voice and
ears to the council, yes you can contact the council directly but if you
would like to have a discussion with me first or have me air your opinions,
I will be most obliged.
If there is anything important I have left out, please let us know. Also if
you have a key event happening in your country or close that you think reps
need to be involved in, that needs travel and prior planning, please share
accordingly.
Otherwise, wishing you all a very merry christmas and prosperous 2015.
