Badge description:
Badges is a fantastic way to incentivize contributors and recognize
activity. We already have a "meta" series of badges that is awarded for
hitting milestone numbers of badges, so awarding badges for collecting
groups or sequences of badges, can direct activity even further.
After doing some rudimentary analysis on the badges community, I've
compiled a list of the most common badges that are awarded for signing up
for accounts and participating at a base level in the project.
These so far include:
baby badger
Let me Introduce myself
bloggin' it
crypto badger
crypto panda
Curious Penguin
Involvement
Mugshot
Speakup!
Macaron Cookie
Origin
Junior Tagger
Junior Package Tagger
White Rabbit
Help the badges team understand what this idea is all about. If this
badge is awarded for certain kinds of activities:
1) This badge is awarded for collecting each of the badges in the list
above.
2) This badge will most often be awarded to newcomers, but can be awarded
to anyone who has previously collected the bootstapped series.
3) The series basically establishes a general familiarity with the Fedora
Account System, Planet, IRC, and Tagger. This is
4) The badges would be awarded on an ongoing basis, but only once per
user.
5) In theory, a .yaml rules file, similar to the one that awards badges
for achieving milestone amounts of badges could be adapted?
Lastly, do you have any ideas for artwork concepts?
6) In my mind's eye, I can imagine the artwork for this being a boot.
Something like pegasus boots, with a Fedora Logo, and wings on them? Or
perhaps something more tech-y, like a Megaman style rocket-powered robo-
boot, with a glowing Fedora Logo? Something with boots, the Fedora Logo,
and being able to move at an improved rate :)
As an additional bit of data, I'd like to utilize a series like this to
help establish a path for onboarding new contributors and applicants to
Fedora's Outreachy program this winter:
