00:00:00,009 --> 00:00:03,419
Based on the mission itself, there's a lot of good reasons to contribute to Mozilla.

2
00:00:03,419 --> 00:00:08,316
But in this video, I wanted to focus a bit more on taking full advantage of the contributions you've made.

3
00:00:08,316 --> 00:00:11,486
And to do this, I'm going to go over a few concrete things that you can do.

4
00:00:11,486 --> 00:00:18,384
One thing you can do in particular, is find any bug where you are mentioned in, click your name, and go to profile.

5
00:00:18,384 --> 00:00:21,752
And you have a profile here which you could include in your resume.

6
00:00:21,752 --> 00:00:24,970
Or you could include on your website to promote yourself.

7
00:00:24,970 --> 00:00:29,525
Even better than this profile page though, what's more valuable is if you go to search for bugs here.

8
00:00:29,525 --> 00:00:36,075
So you just go to Search, and then Advanced Search, and then for Status put resolved, and for Resolution put Fixed.

9
00:00:36,075 --> 00:00:42,616
And then down here, the bug assignee, just put your name [email] there.

10
00:00:42,616 --> 00:00:44,069
And then click search.

11
00:00:44,069 --> 00:00:48,017
And this shows a long list, hopefully a long list of bugs that you've actually finished.

12
00:00:48,017 --> 00:00:52,868
And including this on your resume, shows people how you interact, and it also shows people how you code.

13
00:00:52,868 --> 00:00:58,737
Because each of these bugs, will typically have a link to the changeset where your code actually landed.

14
00:00:58,737 --> 00:01:09,445
One more thing that you can do, is that you can go to hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?user= and put your username there.

15
00:01:09,445 --> 00:01:12,370
That will actually show you all your commits that you've done as well.

16
00:01:12,370 --> 00:01:15,464
So again you can use this on your resume, or on your website.

17
00:01:15,464 --> 00:01:21,388
So more things that you can do, is if you have a github profile, and if you don't you should create one.

18
00:01:21,388 --> 00:01:24,503
And github shows you all your contributions here.

19
00:01:24,503 --> 00:01:29,215
So you can actually get all of your Mozilla contributions to show up here as well.

20
00:01:29,215 --> 00:01:33,104
All you need to do is fork the github repository for mozilla-central.

21
00:01:33,104 --> 00:01:40,670
That would be mozilla/gecko-dev there's other ones for gaia for example, just browse on mozilla/ to see which ones you want to be part of.

22
00:01:40,670 --> 00:01:43,868
And once you do that, any push that you do will show up here as a changeset.

23
00:01:43,868 --> 00:01:50,304
And again including your github in your resume might help you by showing people your work ethic and how you code.

24
00:01:50,304 --> 00:01:56,564
Also if you try to get added to one of the projects at Mozilla, you'll get this organization stamp right here for Mozilla.

25
00:01:56,564 --> 00:01:58,557
And I think that will help you as well.

26
00:01:58,557 --> 00:02:02,364
Finally one more concrete thing you can do, is you can create a Mozillians profile

27
00:02:02,364 --> 00:02:05,172
And I actually have a separate video for this so I'm not going to get into it.

28
00:02:05,172 --> 00:02:09,253
But just having that profile as well, shows that you're part of the community of Mozilla.

29
00:02:09,253 --> 00:02:11,272
There's obviously a lot more reasons to contribute.

30
00:02:11,272 --> 00:02:15,660
There's the intrinsic motivation, there's working with very smart people, there's learning opportunities

31
00:02:15,660 --> 00:02:19,660
But I just wanted to go over this video to show you how you can promote your contributions.
