Hi, I would like to open a discussion here about something that I've been observing more and more at Mozilla, starting probably 2 years ago or so.
When some team or employee (it's not everyone but a big number) needs help, first tries to hire or pay someone and then, if he can't or needs extra help, pings the volunteers. This lead to a lot of situations where the volunteers are not needed or they are like a extra or free resource, last bullet good to have. Historically this was completely the opposite, you have a project or an idea, you work with all mozillians (current employees and volunteers) and if you can't make it this way, you look for extra paid help. Why and when this switch happened? I would start the discussion saying that I think this a huge problem right now, if new employees are instructed or used to paid help first, we will kill the community. It's not nice to feel like free people only needed if we can't get anything better paying...
