Designing for participation

00:00:02.323 --> 00:00:04.670
Usual responses on this topic include

00:00:06.833 --> 00:00:08.153
ah...

00:00:08.153 --> 00:00:10.403
I don't want anybody to touch my things!

00:00:10.403 --> 00:00:11.770
I just need to do my job.

00:00:11.770 --> 00:00:13.190
Do you mean like sharing?

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:14.490
So, like a potluck?

00:00:14.511 --> 00:00:15.341
ooooooow!

00:00:15.371 --> 00:00:16.791
Like retweeting!

00:00:16.890 --> 00:00:17.510
what?

00:00:17.827 --> 00:00:20.121
But seriously, designing for volunteer

00:00:20.291 --> 00:00:22.998
participation matters. It amplifies our efforts

00:00:23.058 --> 00:00:25.467
and it's cool how we work in the world.

00:00:25.503 --> 00:00:27.843
When I stated here in Mozilla I though to myself

00:00:27.927 --> 00:00:30.301
"This is really hard! how do I do it?,

00:00:30.333 --> 00:00:31.386
When do I do it?"

00:00:31.400 --> 00:00:33.967
And then I one day was given the great opportunity

00:00:33.977 --> 00:00:35.790
to make a video for the Australis launch.

00:00:35.790 --> 00:00:37.780
This is a great opportunity to

00:00:37.803 --> 00:00:40.420
communicate the mission and it was a global

00:00:40.577 --> 00:00:42.900
global campaign. So we asked ourselves

00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.460
"How do we amplify this effort through

00:00:45.497 --> 00:00:49.667
participation?" And the answer was: Localization.

00:00:49.678 --> 00:00:53.633
At first, it totally sucked. We didn't really

00:00:53.633 --> 00:00:56.583
know where to start. It seemed really hard.

00:00:56.583 --> 00:01:00.030
But then, we found a fantastic community

00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:02.623
ambassador, who understood and had

00:01:02.623 --> 00:01:04.493
relationships with a community

00:01:04.497 --> 00:01:08.107
called L10N. The community dedicated to localization.

00:01:08.143 --> 00:01:10.613
Together we hacked a process, and pretty

00:01:10.644 --> 00:01:11.999
soon we were ready.

00:01:12.033 --> 00:01:16.200
We asked for six languages, we got twenty nine.

00:01:18.708 --> 00:01:21.428
German, Spanish, Lithunian,

00:01:22.130 --> 00:01:24.340
and we got ten million views!

00:01:25.141 --> 00:01:28.341
Brazilian Portuguese, Portugal Portuguese,

00:01:28.451 --> 00:01:29.760
ten million views!

00:01:29.987 --> 00:01:31.381
French, Japanese,

00:01:31.794 --> 00:01:33.084
ten million views!

00:01:33.870 --> 00:01:36.490
We had so many languages, I don't even think

00:01:36.607 --> 00:01:38.497
I could attach the languages to the countries

00:01:38.503 --> 00:01:39.153
they come from.

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:41.870
So, in my experience with localizing the

00:01:41.941 --> 00:01:44.461
Australis video, people participated because

00:01:44.550 --> 00:01:46.720
we had a nice process set up for them.

00:01:46.787 --> 00:01:48.737
And also because they knew their

00:01:48.823 --> 00:01:49.933
contribution mattered.

00:01:49.993 --> 00:01:51.863
So the moral of the story is when you

00:01:51.893 --> 00:01:53.373
look at a project you are working on

00:01:53.390 --> 00:01:56.270
ask yourself: "Will it be amplify through

00:01:56.300 --> 00:01:59.040
participation?" And if the answer is NO, forget it.

00:01:59.164 --> 00:02:01.660
Don't waste your time. You don't wanna just

00:02:01.720 --> 00:02:03.997
make work for yourself. And if the answer

00:02:04.037 --> 00:02:07.087
is YES, then power through. Design a simple process

00:02:07.094 --> 00:02:09.447
for people to participate and if they know

00:02:09.447 --> 00:02:12.627
their participation is important, they

00:02:12.690 --> 00:02:14.700
will help, and you'll be surprised of

00:02:14.700 --> 00:02:16.630
what kind of contribution you get.

00:02:17.093 --> 00:02:19.253
¡Gracias especialmente a Flod de l10n por su ayuda y experiencia!

00:02:19.264 --> 00:02:23.434
We got twenty nine! We got twenty nine!

00:02:24.627 --> 00:02:25.807
