      I should be quiet since I’m not there. I just mostly wanted to thank you for advocating for increased community ownership 💕

      Nice discussion. never heard “Open by Identity”, but feels worth re-establishing. My XP with “Open by Default” was Firefox OS. we worked openly (github, wikis, discourse), but lacked framework and accountability for accepting contributions. open requires understanding why && how

      “Open by Identity” answers why: you simply do not draw a distinction between outside contributors and internal ones, they are all part of your team. Facilitating your teammate's work is part of your job, so of course you help each other. The how comes out of that motivation.

      It’s also important to recognize that being colleagues is a kind of privilege you have to actively push back against—you have levels of access to each other others don’t, and you can’t let that creep into special status.

      We learned this the hard way in the early years of (way pre-1.0) Rust.

      But for me the realization of what @wycats is now calling “@fantasai’s axiom” (why should it feel any different not to be an employee of a specific organization?) was an epiphany for me 4 or 5 years ago. Everything else in @rustlang flowed from that.

      Exactly, this is how Mozilla was originally designed. :) https://www-archive.mozilla.org/mission.html  [Mozilla project's mission statement circa 1998] We lost it in the [lack of] onboarding once MoCo got money to hire people.

      (To be fair Netscape, and even MoFo after it, struggled with implementing the concept sometimes. But it was understood this is what we were aiming for.)

      Any artificial barrier will end up leaving talented and motivated people on the outside with no clear way to contribute. The idea that external "volunteers" won't do many of the things that paid contributors do is a commonly believed myth.

      s/won't/won't or can't/, since that's also a myth! Mozilla has historically had active module owners, high-level leadership "staff", and even a sysadmin who were not employees.

      I struggled with the wording there. There are many excuses people use: - won't - can't - won't be interested - can't be skilled enough - won't have enough context In practice there are many counterexamples to each excuse in almost all areas (including sysadmin as you said)

          Sysadmin is actually a very "easy" one, because lots of people happen to know how to do ops, and many of them in principle are excited about "contributing to Firefox" So you can get people who do this kind of thing for a living to help and feel awesome doing it.

          It's hard because of the level of trust required.

          Yeah. The more a project resists using employment as a proxy for trust, the easier it is for contributors to level up to being trusted enough to take on a sensitive role like that.

          Meanwhile we currently have problems with marketing refusing to trust localizers wrt translations (and ending up doing things wrong by overriding their localized judgement, no less).
