This is interesting, as I interned at Mozilla, and they have a large number of remote employees. There was only one person (other than me) on my team in my location. Mozilla also records a lot of things, but the intent is more to publish that stuff publicly, in the spirit of openness towards the community. For example, all my team meetings had public notes. I wouldn't be surprised if this tendency to record everything for the sake of the community also has positive benefits inside Mozilla.
