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.

For the Open Badges 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, Sugar Blend, etc.

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, the model requires each Badge holder nominee to clearly state it's decision to accept it or not before a set deadline.       

Each active contributor nominated will need clearly state it's decision to accept it, here in the wiki. For the 2017 pilot such deadline is March, 30 of 2017.
