Bin, Thank you for the update on the discussion at the Monday meeting. LF definitely encourages the volunteers to participate in the open source process. We have tools like Bitergia and Dev Analytics to get a read-out on contributor contributions. These tools can be used to create a report of any contributor. The LF intern program includes assigned mentors and evaluations of the interns that provide the basis of a recommendation. Without that sort of oversight, LF is not in a position to provide a letter of recommendation - just as we don't provide recommendations for any open source project contributors.
Having said that, LF wants to encourage these contributors AND the community in recognizing the efforts of the contributor. If you or others need help navigating the Dev Analytics/Bitergia to understand any contributors contributions we can definitely help in educating on the tool use. Perhaps a letter from the project lead OR the TSC chair with contribution stats would be appropriate? Let me know your thoughts.
