three years ago when we had a submit
we had a bunch of sessions that identify the problems with Firefox and Mozilla
and we had a severe crash in this instability problem with Firefox
that time but outside to the summit to almost exactly the same time
there was a new contributor to Firefox and Mozilla he just showed up kinda been
honestly
as scuba diver three years ago he filed his first bug
it didn't go too well had an interest in analyzing crash data
and he was able to plug in to SoCo roark rationales a system
he has some programming skills but like didn't wanna write code anymore
(he) started filing bugs first couple were dupes in
could have been very discouraged and given up that point but then about the
fourth bug
he saw some crash data come in kinda got on top of that file the bug quickly
and an engineer spotted it and gave him the feedback
that he needed to continue and
the engineer saw that like it was coded just checked in
quickly provided a fix and things got a little bit better
scuba diver got more motivated and three years later
scuba diver has filed three thousand bugs a thousand of those bugs
have been fixed
by people who whose who saw his value
and jumped on his bugs and Firefox is a lot more stable
because of the efforts of the scuba diver and we started to tell us
tell the story about this man amazing guy
me told us you had conversations it turns out
that he was also working on Sumo
and he is the number one contributor on Sumo he is
edited five thousand articles consumer
so we Cairo ago once I'm
crashed ability he knows that how many bugs turned up
out lately filed by scuba diver
and our wrote him an email asking what was going on
and ... so scuba diver on his road back
Varian honestly said know we've also
invited into summits we tried to contact him but like is not
doesn't respond to that very often tried sending T-shirts, try to offer him a job
are and in very quietly he said
night love my time at Mozilla I had some life changes
and I I can no longer contribute
and so a challenge here is likely if we set this challenge a million new
contributors to
to Mozilla and I'll also said the challenge
let's find one new scuba diver let's find ten new scuba divers
and let's create systems
likes the Coro and and and SUMO the allowed people to plug in
and contribute in amazing ways that have impact on our users
