AGENDA
TOPIC 1 - Contributor Research - Rina Jensen
- A formative research study in two parts, exploring
-
- what motivates technical contributors to participate in open source projects.
-
- based on the driving motivations, what are the experiences of contributing in open source and how can it be improved.
- We will cover motivations, connections between those motivations (personas) and the experience journey research in short, but will provide links and documentation for follow up.
- Types
- the independents
- the leaders
- the fixers
- the citizens
-
QUESTIONS:
- Any quick (and magic) things we should apply starting tomorrow?
- yes, check on how we engage/ how we reconnect
- Any AHA moments ? Something unexpected that pop up- ed in the research?
- a lot of aha moments, I thought that open source would be a pillar on why people join and I found that there is a big diversity on motivations - Rina
- there is a progression on how the contributors evolve, they may start as a certain type and they can change in the future - Brian
- Are the people in the personas real mozillians/people who answered?
- they are not we wanted to keep people’s ids secret
- Are there lessons from other projects for integrating beginner technical contributors?
- there are some high level recommendations, one of the key things (easy step too) is stating the benefits that people will get once joining
- What is the value of non-technical contributors to open source or free software projects in general?
- Projects - Beyond Mozilla community we talked to:
- https://www.wevolver.com/
- HackerDojo
