689296 - Add Systems Administration to Get Involved page and Want to Help? form

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(www.mozilla.org :: Pages & Content, defect)

Description

[David Boswell]

Opening a bug to add Systems Administration to the Get Involved pages and to the Want to Help? form.

We'll need some a couple of sentences of text to include on the page describing Systems Administration opportunities at Mozilla.  Feel free to draft something and add it to the bug or let me know if I can help with this.  

For the form, we can set an an auto-response that gets sent out whenever anyone selects that they're interested in Systems Administration or we can hold off on that and let someone manually respond to those inquiries.  Either way, let me know who is interested in getting those messages from the form.

Do you see yourself as someone who looks at the world a little different? Are ones and zeros constantly flying through your head? What we do as systems admins is we get to sit behind the scenes of the biggest entity in the world and keep the lights on.

I added the text from comment #1 to the Areas of Interest page.  To give people an action to take when they read it, I added a link to the Mirror network page.  When we have a sense of other IT contribution opportunities it would be good to set up an IT Get Involved wiki page somewhere and link to that from here.

Systems Administration is also now in the Want to Help? form as an option.  I just sent a test message through and that should go to Corey.  If you want that to go somewhere else, let me know.

I think we can close this bug.  I would like to revisit the contribution pathways we're offering when we redesign the page, but I don't recommend adding this to the current page now.
