Proposal: Add a 'Fueling the movement' module as 1.2

[abbycabs]

I'd like to explain how we're training new leaders to help us fuel the movement for the health of the Internet. We're working together to guard the open nature of the internet. Working Open is at the core of many of the issues that face the health of the Internet today: Privacy & security, web literacy, digital inclusion, decentralization, and open innovation.

Thoughts / suggestions welcome!

Should this go in the README instead? I should have time to work on this within the next few weeks.

I'd be fine with that. My first gut reaction was "why would readers want to read an advert for mozilla?" but after coming back to this it doesn't feel like an advert anymore.

Might even consider collecting similar statements from other well known entities that work open. It shows people that it isn't just small outfits run by hippies that have no customers and struggle to survive that practice working open at scale. I frequently hear "It is cute that you practice this, and for small organisations this might work, but we are a serious business(tm) where this won't work"

I'd like to add some info explaining why Mozilla cares about this and how training open leaders fits with their mission. (A: more leaders to fuel the movement for the health of the Internet).

Info on working open at scale / serious businesses in open source might be better fit in the working open section.

hey @acabunoc and @betatim, great thoughts here! I might add this"fuel the movement" content to 1.1, rather than creating a new section. I think the more refined language about the 5 areas would fit nicely there-- at the time when Chad and I originally wrote this early last spring, those principles were less clearly defined and so we glossed over them a bit. We probably need to do an update of the "meet Mozilla's network" part to reflect some of the more polished thinking there.

We could also put a bit of it in the README, depends on how much we want to pack into that section!

Regarding "the advert for Mozilla"... In a earlier organizational scheme for these materials, we'd had that "About Mozilla" subsection after that "Working Open" subsection. This gives people a bit of what they came for-- what is working open-- and then explain why Mozilla is providing it. And avoids coming on too strong with "we're Mozilla!" for people who haven't yet fully signed on with the org. We could re-consider that ordering, if it might help ease @betatim's initial response.
