Cc: Sugar-dev Devel <<a href="mailto:sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a>>, SLOBs <<a href="mailto:slobs@lists.sugarlabs.org">slobs@lists.sugarlabs.org</a>><br><br><br>Following up on a thread begun in mid July<br>
(<a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2011-July/013736.html" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2011-July/013736.html</a>) I<br>
would like to discuss the following proposal this morning:<br>
<br>
Sugar Labs will award certificates to developers to acknowledge and<br>
celebrate their contributions to the Sugar Learning Platform. Several<br>
certificates will be made available, based upon the area of<br>
contribution.<br>
<br>
The Sugar X Contributor certificate will be given to an individual who<br>
over the course of a sustained effort contributes to some Sugar<br>
community team, e.g., Sugar Translation Contributor. (The teams are<br>
listed on the wiki). The specific criteria for certification will be<br>
determined by the team coordinators, but in general, it would involve<br>
a repeated effort on behalf of the team's goals at a high level of<br>
quality (e.g., of quality sufficient to be incorportated into our<br>
offerings).<br>
<br>
As an example, the Activity team will issue a Sugar Activity Developer<br>
certificate to an individual who develops at least one Sugar activity<br>
that is subsequently posted on the Sugar activity portal and be of<br>
sufficient quality to be approved for public release. The activity<br>
must also include internationalization, including the submission of a<br>
POT file to the Translation Team, and documentation, including the<br>
creation of a page in the wiki under the Activity category. As will<br>
the Contributor certificates, sign off will be made by the associated<br>
team coordinators, in this case the Activity team.<br>
