This program was very important for me.
I did this year 10 years inside the Mozilla community, also part of that experience was added in my book about contributing to open source.
I was also part of the Reps council for 2 years, and I saw and did a lot of things with Mozilla.
I think that this decision was just a matter of time when the Reps Portal was dismissed, with that the reference for the program disappeared. Also all the layoffs of the lasts years with a lot of community managers from a long time experience and the unclear Mozilla direction about what is doing and what is promoting is part of this.
Years ago we had a lot of projects to promote and campaigns from privacy month to firefox nightly promotion.
Now everything died since 2 years at least, we can see the kind of events in the community platform (excluding the spam) and I am the maintainer of the website…
Instead, right now we have products to promote, I remember the Fosdem this year.
We had stickers of Mozilla VPN and Firefox Relay and promotion for Mozilla Hubs (that I never understood why is not died yet).
When the world still need projects like Mozilla WebMaker.
What are the Mozilla plans for the community? It is unclear since years and I think that will stay in that way with a lot of sadness.
PS: there it will be a way to request swag for the community now that the program is retired?
