One of them
Leadership Summit
As a long time contributor who doesn't have gifts on development, my top interest is always getting people involved, enlarge and empower other contributor. Leadership Summit is my best choice, and I believe that I can share / learn a lot from other community member.
2. Please describe the impact you’ve had over the past 6 to 12 months. Use specific examples. Describe this in terms of the impact you’ve had on Mozilla, our mission, Mozillians and/or our communities.
I'll list 4 contributions about community enlargement / empowerment here:
- Help sharing the Community Space program include setting up the rules with other core contributors & promote its idea. We have 10 core contributors for the pilot program in Taipei, with about 250 people visited the space every month and learn about open source / Mozilla. Mozilla Community Space Taipei (https://moztw.org/space ) is the best famous community space about open source in Taiwan right now, connecting many other FLOSS communities with Mozilla project.
- Design / starts "MozTW (Lightning) Talks" program in MozTW, helps people share their projects about web and spread the words about Mozilla / Open Web every week. With this program, many new contributors have chance to present their interest and share knowledge, which potentially increase the chance to work together with other community member, and feel belonging to the community.
- Just starts: help promoting the new Firefox OS Add-on development, by wrote example add-on (pushed to github) and a blog post about it on my blog. I believe the ability of customization will lead the success of Firefox OS and I'm really interesting in promote the idea.
- Connect Mozilla with other FLOSS folks in Taiwan: by join the organizing team of the largest Chinese FLOSS event "COSCUP," I connected people from other FLOSS communities to Mozilla, get helps from them and help Mozillians learn more from them.
3. In what areas do you want to learn and grow professionally (in general and as a leader) over the next 6 to 12 months? What ideas do you have for how you will accomplish this learning? Please be specific.
- Skill on Project Management: I read a lot and try a lot, for my paid job and in the community.
- On-boarding volunteers: After we start the Mozilla Community Space Taipei, there's a lot of new comers fill the contribution form or show their interesting to Mozilla projects, but only a few that keep it on and contribute to Mozilla. I think the overall on-boarding process needs a re-visit. I would really love to know how I can help new contributors on-board and keep contributing. I was asked a few Mozilla community leaders about how they do this, though the "conversion rate" is usually not very high. Still trying to find the right way, and will keep trying.
- How I can help others work better and faster: As a project manager in my paid job, this is what I'm always looking for. It actually very important for "leading" a volunteer-based community. Actually I don't have a specific way to improve my skill in this area, what I usually do is brew new ideas that might help people, test it, see how it works and try to improve it next time, also share the idea to others once I have confidence that it works well.
- English skill: need a huge improve in order to explain my thoughts and exchange ideas with other local communities. I've already signed up for an on-line cause that can help me practice.

3. What specific ideas do you have for growing the size and impact of your community (or communities) at Mozilla in 2016?
I believe we are at the right track, the next steps is convert the new comers to real contributors. Personally I would like to host more hands-on events and help people get involved to projects.
4. What specific commitments are you ready to make for the first half of 2016? (think about plans you want to put in place, functional/product areas you want to organize your community around, the impact you want to have, specific activities/events you will undertake, how much time you will commit, contributors you might want to recruit, etc)
As usual, I spent about 3-5 hours every week on Mozilla projects after 2013, and I'll keep it on. Especially on Firefox OS customization and Mozilla Teach areas.
Nope, thanks for reading. :)
