FWIW, there's a great implementation here: https://www.badgr.org/
It's GPL, and it's what Fedora uses for their very popular badge program. On 4/5/21 4:42 AM, Matthew Sacks wrote:
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: https://trustarc.com/truste-certifications/enterprise-privacy-certification/ 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?
