Badge description (like "You added a co-maintainer to a package. BFF!"):
Similar to the "Speak Up!" badge (https://badges.fedoraproject.org/badge
/speak-up!), this badge would be awarded to a user who has linked their
FAS account with their IRC nick, and they speak for the first time in a
#fedora-related channel.
I think this badge would be important to help encourage new users to move
away from lurking and more towards interacting with others on IRC - this
might help encourage them to say hello or help another user out if they're
idling in one of the official channels.
I know the possibility of this badge depends if something like this is in
place already, but is it something that would be trackable with our
current infrastructure? Hopefully it would be - I would think this would
be a great "starter" badge for new users / contributors!
Badge Name Ideas:
- Hello There!
- Is this thing on?
Badge Description: "You spoke for the first time in a Fedora IRC channel!
Welcome to the club!"
Help the badges team understand what this idea is all about. If this
badge is awarded for certain kinds of activities:
1) What are those activities?
- Participating in discussion on IRC
2) Who is doing them (are they packagers? translators? newcomers?
veterans? users? sponsors?)
- Newcomers
3) Why are they doing them (is this a means to a different end?)
- Becoming more involved with the Fedora community
4) When do they do them (every day? once a year?)
- Ideally, when they first join the channel… ;) But it would likely be
early in a Fedoran's involvement.
5) How do they do them (by talking in IRC? by running commands in the
console? by using a web interface?)
- Talking in IRC
Lastly, do you have any ideas for artwork concepts?
Depends on if either of the two badge names I suggested are chosen:
"Hello There": Could be a group of pandas with one panda in the center
raising its hand, perhaps also more in focus than the others
"Is this thing on?": Similar to the IRC Support SIG badge, it could be
designed from the user-standpoint of that badge. It could be a panda
talking / tapping a microphone or holding a phone to its ear.
