The Open Badges program at Sugar Labs has the intention of reflecting openly individual or collective expertise over a specific project, team or task. Reflection is one of the main principles embedded on Sugar's DNA, so reflecting collective and individual accomplishments is a logical step for Sugar Labs community. For the implementation team, main challenge and opportunity may be the fact that there is several graphical work inherently attached to the creation and maintenance of the Badges. Also possible integrations with Sugar, Sugarizer, Sugar Network, etc.

Open Badges were originally formulated to recognize the value of the infrastructure team and key project team leaders. Thanks to infrastructure team there is a level of service that allows us to be constantly in the air to interact with each other, with the code and with our users. Thanks to our key project team leaders, Sugar adapts and evolves to specific cases of use. This interaction and close support can only enrich our upstream main project.

Still, Sugar labs is a dynamic entity and should avoid labor relationships. Instead, the adoption of "retributions by merit" and/or "awards" policies are more suitable.

For piloting the model during 2017, we have defined 7 Open Badges:

Infrastructure Hero 1: Samuel Cantero
Infrastructure Hero 2: Sebastian Silva
Infrastructure Hero 2: Sebastian Silva
Infrastructure Hero 3: Bernie Innocenti
Sugar Network Project Leader: Laura Vargas
Sugarizer Project Leader: Lionel Laske
Under this model and for the first year (03/2017 - 03/2018), each badge could have a US$500/month stipend attached, for a total of US$3,500 per month, totalling US$ 36,000 per year in stipends [2] to Active contributors.
Social Help Project Leader: Sam Parkinson
Sugar Labs Badge of Honor: Walter Bender
Badge nominees may identify them selves as in need of the stipend or not, before submitting each years round to the Sugar Labs Oversgight Board for funding approval.
For piloting the model during 2017, we have 1 active contributor self defined as in need of financial resources:
# Sugar Network Project Leader: Laura Vargas
# ...
Please add your name to the list and update the Budget numbers if you consider your self as an active contributor in need of financial resources.
Total active contributors in need of financial resources = 1
Total monthly need of financial resources = US$ 500
Total yearly need of financial resources = US$ 6,000
