Open Badges: Difference between revisions

Line 18:

Open Badges are here 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.

=== Stipends for Badge Holders ===

Open Badges proposal contemplates to open channels for resources to flow to active contributors that have been awarded with an Open Badge. All Badges will have a nominal monthly stipend of US$ 500 attached.

=== Piloting the model during 2017 ===

It'~~s important to declare that for the purpose of simplifying bureaucracy and actually pilot~~ the model, ~~I (laura_vargas)~~ have ~~unanimously formulated~~ the ~~initial Open Badges~~ list ~~[Published on March 3, 2017] and the Open Badges names.~~

'''List B:''' For piloting the model during 2017, we have the following active contributors list of self defined individuals "in need of financial resources":

# Sugar Network Project Leader: Laura Vargas

Once the pilot starts returning feedback, the sustainability of the program will depend on our capacity to facilitate new active contributors identification and if and when necessary, friendly and open democratic process for selecting and/or nominating badges and badge holders.

~~While I did it to~~ the ~~best of my knowledge as an organizational engineer~~, ~~please forgive~~ the ~~limited list~~. ~~I reformulated~~ the ~~model taking into consideration all great feedback~~ from ~~members received in IAEP and their feelings towards the flow of resources~~.

'''List A:''' For piloting the model during 2017, we have the following active contributors of self defined individuals " '''not''' in need of financial resources" '''(List A)''':

# Infrastructure Hero: Samuel Cantero

# Translation Community Manager: Chris Leonard

# ...

'''The model is based on autoevaluation, then only active edition of the above Wiki text by each wiki user''' will change any name from '''List A''' to '''List B'''.

'''Pilot Program Guidelines'''

- Reasonable periods of time should be given for Community members to nominate themselves or another member as a Badge nominee.

- Reasonable periods of time should be given for Community members to nominate themselves or another member as a Badge nominee in upcoming rounds.

- For each round, Badge nominees will have a reasonable period of time to identify them selves as "yes, I am in need of financial resources" or as "no, I am not in need of financial resources", before submitting each years Budget to the Sugar Labs Oversgight Board.

- By default all nominated active contributors are considered as '''not''' in need of financial resources (List A).

For ~~piloting~~ the ~~model during 2017,~~ the ~~April 7 SLOBs meeting is proposed as the Pilot~~

- For the purpose of simplifying bureaucracy for the pilot, I (laura_vargas) as an organizational engineer to the best of my knowledge and eliminating every possible conflict of interest attached to the proposal, have formulated the initial Sugar Labs Open Badges list as published on March 3, 2017.

~~For piloting the model during 2017~~, ~~we have the following active contributors '''~~(~~List B~~)~~'''~~ of ~~self defined as in need~~ of ~~financial resources:~~

~~# Infrastructure Hero 1: Samuel Cantero~~

~~# ...Therefore '''only active edition of the above Wiki text by each wiki user''' will change the name from '''List A''' to '''List B'''~~.

~~Everyone not listed in either lists after a defined deadline~~, will ~~be added~~ to ~~List A~~

Once the pilot starts returning feedback to the community, the sustainability of the program will depend on our capacity to facilitate new active contributors identification and if and when necessary, friendly and open democratic process for selecting and/or nominating badges and badge holders.

The deadline to such edition it could be one day before the following Oversight Board meeting. I (laura_vargas) have added Samuel in List A only as an example, as he has already stated at IAEP.
