[IMPORTANT] Council Elections - H2 2021- Nominees' Q&A

[lidyachristina]

Hello everyone

I am Lidya Christina from Jakarta, Indonesia. I joined the community in the middle of 2016 at SUMO localization activity. I started my journey as a contributor to Localization for Bahasa Indonesia in 2016-now, Mozilla Reps in 2018-now, part of review team members, and served as one of Council member for 2020-2021 term.

I’m also taking part to help running the Mozilla Community Space Jakarta handling the operations and assist the events along with the other 13 dedicated volunteers.

Here’s my thought about the Reps community and leadership questions:

@Ioana

How can Reps motivate contributors to get them involved in Mozilla, both in campaigns and also long term?

• Share the values and engage them with activities and support
• Knowing how new and long-time contributors differ in motivation will help to discover how to support the contributor even better, i.e. to attract and retain new contributors, who might become the future workforce, Reps could offer workshops with tangible recognition (like attendance e-certificate/certain badges), fun, kinship, and learning, which are particularly relevant for young contributors —and to retain experienced contributors, who tend to be core members or maintainers, they might more value when they can have chance to help other contributors and their work being highlighted in community platform, etc.

@Ioana

Identify something that is currently not working well in the Mozilla Reps program and which you think could be easy to fix. How would you approach a possible fix?

Gather feedback especially for campaign and/or activities - it’s great & really helpful to have all necessary things to do the campaign, but I think it is still necessary for reps to report what is going well and what is not working well after that. I think it can be as a short-form report, or sharing post on Discourse/ sharing session in the Reps call.

@Ioana

What are the specific qualities and skills that you have that you think will help you be an effective Council member?

• I am adaptive, practical and goal-oriented in my approach towards projects and issues
• Have been on the ground with local communities and grassroots effort

@Ioana

Which of your contributions in 2021 had the biggest impact on the Reps program on a programmatic level?

• I was involved to review and modify the Reps onboarding document which has been placed in Teachable and also support some of the campaign events for the Indonesian community.

@Ioana

Which past achievement as a Rep would you tell your best non-Mozilla friend about?

• Be part of Mozilla leadership - which let me learn a ton about self-development, community, and leadership
• Featured Rep of the month in 2019 & as one of the Reps featured in the ’10 years of Mozilla community’ blog

Feedbacks and swags are always welcome :))

Over and out
Lidya
