A group of passionate people and leadership program.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Swag attracts people, it make them feel empowered but they should use it with responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n We need to work with contributors who are not reps.<\/span><\/p>\n My <\/span>thought is that we are doing a great job but we have a lot of communication channels so I would like an unified one<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n You can also check more ideas from Faisal on the Reps Call – Elections Special Edition pad<\/a>.<\/p>\n Faisal’s video<\/a>.<\/p>\n Christos is an Open Source Hacker messing around with everything regarding Free\/Open source software.

We <\/span> dedicate a lot of our personal time and we help to shape Mozilla’s mission. I can’t imagine Mozilla without Reps.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Webmaker, Firefox OS or MDN are projects where Reps are a huge component.\u00a0 I would like to encourage Reps to ‘find their project\/place’\u00a0 – to rally community for this common cause\/interest.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n If elected it<\/span> will be a huge<\/span> personal responsibility<\/span> not about me being on the leadership page but working hard and doing my best in order to help the council move forward.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I would like to brainstorm with the rest of council in order to identify\u00a0 – parts of the program that can be torn down – to rebuild.\u00a0 Sometimes you don’t need dram<\/span>a<\/span>tic changes. Maybe a small boost can help make things even better.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n You can also check more ideas from Christos on the Reps Call – Elections Special Edition pad<\/a>.<\/p>\n Christos’ video<\/a>.<\/p>\n Michael has been in the program since November 2012, organizing events in Switzerland and building the “Mozilla Switzerland” community.

We can do more to be more efficient with more Mozilla teams.<\/span><\/p>\n I would like to focus on the re-activation of inactive reps, take <\/span>application queue down and the <\/span>growth of overall collaboration within Reps.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I think Reps is a very big family, we can share that with other Mozillians. With our knowledge we can teach Mozillians and empower them, we can work on strengthening the collaboration with extended community.\u00a0 We need to make sure that as less as possible is covered under NDA, so we can talk with others about opportunity.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n You can also check more ideas from Michael on the Reps Call – Elections Special Edition pad<\/a>.<\/p>\n Michael’s video<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mohammed is a Front-End Engineer graduated with a bachelor degrees in Software Engineering.

Currently we are growing randomly and that’s bad.<\/span><\/p>\n We have to communicate more with FSA’s, help them with everything and orient them to the right way to make sure that they are at the right path. I would like to work on the strategy of accepting Reps from the same region, beside to the communication between Reps and FSA. As we know, FSA is the new generation of Reps and contributors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Transparency is not always good, some decisions have to stay in the council, having a lot of opinions could make the process much longer, time is gold.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n You can also check more ideas from Mohammed on the Reps Call – Elections Special Edition pad<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mohammed’s video<\/a>.<\/p>\n Rara is a dentist by profession, a passionate blogger, traveler, and a lifetime Mozillian.
