We are all aware that an open source maintainer's work is important to the success of our open source projects. When the code is not resolved, they resolve it. Similarly, when the code is not reviewed, they review it. Maintainers are the maestros of an open source opera.
It is reasonable that our maintainers are acknowledged and valued. As a result, LFX has added support for maintainer Credly badges on the Individual Dashboard.
For our maintainers, the process is simple. Follow these simple steps:
Navigate to the Individual Dashboard, and sign in using your LF account.
Maintainer badges are verified through your GitHub identities, so ensure your GitHub identities are connected to your LFX Profile. For more information, see connect GitHub.
Skip step 2 if you are already connected to you GitHub account.
Congratulations, that's all! We will now verify that you are a maintainer by cross-checking your project's maintainer documentation on the back end. Our maintainer badge validation process takes 7 days. You will be notified.
Currently, LF Project Administrators can gain access to community management in our new version of Insights. To gain access, create a support ticket and provide the following details:
Your LFID.
Your email registered with this LFID.
The Project you need access to.
2. In Community Management, mark your project’s maintainers as a maintainer by selecting the 3 dots to the right and selecting Add Maintainer Tag.
3. The maintainer tag should now be shown in the Community Management dashboard.
Reach out to Craig Ross at,ccr@linuxfoundation.org and we can assist projects with designing their own Credly Badges.
The following template mock-ups are available for project maintainers:
Once your maintainers are identified in Community Management and you have issued your maintainers a badge via Credly.
