Thank you everyone for the feedback. I've made several small changes based on your input and have re-posted below. Thank you again. (I've placed == around the text that I changed so you all could see it). ========================= DRAFT Volunteer Agreement The success of our mission depends on the participation of people like you -- people who are as passionate about == open source principles, standards, products and practices == as we are, generously volunteering their expertise, knowledge and skills to the Mozilla Project. In order to make your experience the best possible, here are a few "rules of the road" to review before we get going. Please read through them and let us know if you have questions or something just doesn't make sense. As a volunteer Mozillian, you will have the opportunity to make meaningful contributions, to learn, to meet other amazing humans, and to receive mentorship and recognition for your participation. In return, you agree to help us advance the principles of the our Manifesto to the best of your ability. Our community is like our extended family; we won't agree on everything or always get along, but do treat each other with dignity and respect at all times. As a volunteer, you agree to do that too. Our Participation Guidelines are a good place to learn more about what this means and what to do if you ever feel like you're not being treated this way. Being a volunteer at Mozilla means you freely donate your time, ideas, heartbeats, etc. to help us accomplish our mission. You agree that you are here because you are passionate about the Web and have no expectation of == monetary == compensation. We'd love for you to talk about your experience with Mozilla. If, during your time with us, you want to use any of our logos when you do that, you agree to check out our Style Guide first, to make sure you use the right one (and don't mistakenly violate our Trademark Policy). You agree to challenge the status quo, == to be unconventional == -- but never in a way that violates local laws, our internal policies or the rights of any group or individual. And finally, as a volunteer, you agree that you won't be able to bind Mozilla to agreements or sign anything on our behalf == without prior authorization ==. == To avoid misunderstandings ==, you also agree to represent yourself as a volunteer rather than as an employee, intern or contractor of Mozilla. That's it. Now let's get started. ~ mardi _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
