Event Badges - Policy Discussion
by Marie Nordin 23 Sep '18

23 Sep '18

Hello All! I am opening up this thread to discuss event badges-- I think it would be helpful to brainstorm and finalize some standards/regulations regarding event badges with the input from leadership, design, and development side. I will do my best to list all the different thoughts/issues that have been raised. Please feel free to jump in with other points and/or correct if I don't have the latest info. *Current policy:* - 1 event badge per event (non Fedora, or Fedora) - 3 event badges per Flock - attendee - contributor - party attendee - 1 event badge per Fudcon - attendee - in the past we have also had speaker/organizer badges *Common issues we encounter:* - People pointing to older badges and asking why we don't make them any more - I actually haven't seen this as much lately, but have in the past - People not knowing what or where to find a policy regarding event badges. People pose potential badges, and we have to turn them down. - From creation/pushing to site aspect, not getting enough notice that an event badge is needed, or it gets lost in a sea of update emails (best to request an event badge at least 1-1.5 months in advance, so we can see & address at a badges meeting (held bi-weekly unless something comes up)). Then there is time for gathering of resources (logos), creation of artwork, and pushing to site. *Outdated badges:* - We have old speaker/organizer badges. Do we want to remove those and replace them with the new contributor badges? Would this be too big an effort for the outcome? *New ideas:* - Fedora meet up badge - IMHO, if we created this it should just be one badge overall that is used for multiple events? Or yearly, so "you attended a fedora meet up in 2018" I think this is a great idea for people who are unable to make it to some of the larger conferences, giving them a chance to earn event badges. On the other side, those privileged to go to the larger badges will most likely earn these as well. https://pagure.io/fedora-badges/issue/641 - Non-Fedora badges - this idea made by Bex on issue 642. I would be interested to hear more about what this would entail and how to implement. https://pagure.io/fedora-badges/issue/642 *More Thoughts:* - Why did we move from speaker/organizer badges to contributor badges? Who made this decision and why? - A note here is that I am fine with this policy, I am just curious how this decision came about, and why it wasn't really finalized "officially" and discussed with the badges team as a whole. I think it was announced on a badge issue, and we then had to adapt. That is all I have for now. I think it would be great if we had input on these thoughts, and any others, from all the people who makes badges happen :) Best, - riecatnor

Sayan is perhaps best to know what current work is most needed from a development POV. I hope by starting this conversation we can find someone willing to mentor, and we could scope the work once there is a confirmed interest. To be transparent, I don't anticipate having time to work directly on this. But there was interest from our discussion at Flock and there is a need for more development interest and focus on Tahrir. I hoped to start this discussion as one avenue to source more development interest on this stack. -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

I've CCed the mailing list. It would be nice if we could keep such discussions there. -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok
