Greetings Committers
We announced at EclipseCon that we're implementing a Committer Badge programme. We've partnered with Credly to provide digital badges that acknowledge your status as an Eclipse Committer. Everybody who has committer status on at least one Eclipse open source project is entitled to the badge.
You can add the badge to your professional profiles, such as LinkedIn, to highlight your expertise and stand out to potential employers or clients. By sharing your badge on social media platforms, you can increase your visibility and attract the attention of potential employers, colleagues, or collaborators. It serves as a powerful endorsement of your skills and can lead to networking opportunities.
Early in 2024, we will start actively offering the badge to all current committers.
There is more information in the
handbook.
Comments and discussion are welcome, but let's have the conversation
here (with ~2K people on this list, it's better that we have focused discussions in a specific channel).
Note that we discuss new initiatives like this, changes in our policies and practices, and other topics that are of interest to committers during our monthly
Committer Office Hours sessions.
Thanks for your attention.
