Contribute
The Steward Program is a scalable way to bring in new contributors to all areas of the Mozilla community by having members of different teams be responsible for driving contributor growth for each project area. There are three parts to the program:
- Select someone on your team to be a steward responsible for helping contributors get involved in your activities.
- Add contributor growth and health targets to your quarterly goals.
- Make time for the steward to work with the Contributor Engagement team to improve the process for contributing to your project.
Teams that make this investment in contributor recruiting will become more effective at bringing people into their project and will be able to accomplish more as their team grows.
See the Steward Program slides from the September 2011 All Hands for more details.
