I had a similar idea some years back, but with a slightly more
tongue-in-cheek approach.
Some sample "merits" I had in mind then:
- 1,000 commits within a year
- 5,000 commits in total
- 1,000 emails to our lists
- Annoyed Sally more than 5 times
- Caused at least one CVE
- *Fixed* at least that one CVE...
Well, you can see what I'm talking about. It's probably not what many
people would be wanting... :p (I would tick all the above boxes btw!)
But activity-based merits could be a fun comdev projects. We have access
to the stats through Kibble, so we could auto-generate a bunch of them.
With regards,
Daniel.

It's very similar to what has already been done at the ApacheCon every
year. you got the "badges" that you could attach to your generic
"conference badge".

寫道： Summary: Digital Merit badges
ASF participation and responsibility are based on merit. So like other
merit-based organizations, why not have a digital merit badge. It would
slow your name and summarize your involvement and contributions (volunteer,
committer, member, board member, founding member, etc.).
Also, what projects you work on.
Other examples of design: Trust Certification badges:

What it’s not: social score, that’s not what I’m proposing.
If an ASF member, committee, and volunteer involvement are based on merit,
why not have a digital merit badge that shows what they’ve done?
Like other organizations based on merit, there are usually badges
recognizing one's contributions to that contributor.
I’m thinking to list the following on the badge:
- committer, member, volunteer, board member, founder, etc
- year joined
If you click the badge, it will take you to a profile page with:
- Projects they contribute/contributed to
- Apachcon participation, presentations, etc
- Apache.org personal homepage (if they have one)
From a marketing perspective, it also expands the ASF “brand” and
reputation. You have many of the best software engineers and IT
professionals in the world helping make better software available to
commercial companies as well as public organizations and individuals
If LinkedIn displayed a dynamically generated badge validated by an
ASF-hosted infra API (blockchain validated) on Roy Fielding or JimJag’s
LinkedIn page, for example, wouldn’t that be of interest in expanding ASF
reach? It could increase volunteering, donations, page views, and more
benefits.
Not just LinkedIn, but maybe RedHat, Microsoft, maybe Apple (probably not),
Oracle, IBM, AWS, Google could get a Platinum sponsor badge to show their
pride for supporting the ASF as a major corporation. More corporations will
follow suit.
Thoughts?
