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...

Regards.
