Fwd: 2 mins of your time needed: Pls share the volunteer survey

[Dan Mosedale]

Mozilla's working on getting a lot better at actually helping people engage, stay engaged, and notice if we're doing stuff that drives people away.  If anyone who is or was a volunteer would be up for filling this out, that'd be much appreciated, and very helpful for making Mozilla a more enjoyable place for contributors in the future.

Thanks,
Dan

Dear Mozillians: As you might have seen already on Twitter, Planet, etc., we've followed up on our earlier paid staff survey with a volunteer-focused one.  We need your help in getting the word out + imploring contributors in your functional areas to fill it out by Oct. 21st (this includes past + present volunteers).  Their feedback and perspective is *critical* in our overall audit of the contributor lifecycle and this will help inform our plans to grow Mozilla.

* Survey: http://mzl.la/pCnv4Q 
* Wiki w. sample note + breakdown of channels:  https://wiki.mozilla.org/ContributorEngagement/Audit (Note:  I've taken the liberty to tentatively assign owners - pls confirm or re-assign)

The aim of our audit is to get a sense of why people do or don't get involved with Mozilla, why or why they don’t complete a project, whether or not they stay, how we can make this whole process better and more. David Eaves is working with Mozilla's Contributor Engagement team to provide a set of recommendations that will help Mozilla improve the contributor experience. This volunteer survey is the most important part of his research!
