Tomorrow, December 9th (which is only about an 45 minutes at this point) is the start of my OPW internship with Mozilla. I’ll be working on the SUMO/Input Web Designer/Developer project and, from my understanding, primarily working on the “thank you” page that people see after they leave feedback. The goal is for people who leave feedback, especially negative feedback, to not feel brushed off, but rather to feel like their feedback was well received. We also want to be able to a. point them  to knowledge base articles that might mitigate the issue(s) they are having with Firefox based on their feedback (what they wrote in the text field) and b. to point them towards additional ways that they can become involved with Mozilla.

Like I said above, the internship starts on December 9th and it ends on March 9th. The internship, like all OPW projects, is remote but, because there is a Portland Mozilla office I will be able to work in one of their conference rooms.  Most of the programming I will be doing will be in Python and I will also be doing a lot of work in with Django. That said I will also likely be doing some work HTML, CSS, and Javascript. In addition to the thank you page, I’m also going to be working on other assorted Input bugs.

As part of the agreements of my internship I will be posting at least one internship related post every two weeks. In reality I am going to hope to post at least one internship related post a week as it will get me back into the practice of blogging and I will also have a back up plan if there is a week that I can’t post for whatever reason.

Here’s to a productive three months!
