Joomla! Volunteer Engagement Team (VET) Official
The VET focuses on the 3 Rs: Recruitment, Retention and Recognition of volunteers
The role of the Joomla Volunteer Engagement Team (VET) is to provide the Joomla Community with a pleasant, welcoming and healthy environment in which to contribute and share our passion for Joomla!
When volunteers are happy and appreciated and they have access to the necessary knowledge and tools (both software and processes) they should feel more motivated and in turn become more productive. The VET, by supporting volunteers and the teams, strives to assist the Joomla Community to accomplish more, leading to improving the long-term stability and success of the Joomla! Project.
The VET aim to achieve the above mission by focussing on three primary areas: Recruitment, Retention and Recognition.
Read the VET Vision, Mission and Goals
By focussing on these three areas, the Volunteer Engagement Team aims to continuously deliver services to the entire Joomla community to improve communications, processes and performance across all parts of the Joomla community.
If you would like more information on contributing to Joomla, joining VET or to provide feedback on the VET mission, values and goals statement above, please contact the VET via email at contact-vet@community.joomla.org.
