Recognizing Contributors

The project looks to recognize and thank contributors for their contributions as one of the ways we can help them continue to contribute to the project.

This document captures some of the processes we have in place to do that.

Some of the benefits we hope to achieve through these programs include:

  • Ensuring people know that the project appreciates their work
  • Encouraging people to repeat/grow their contributions
  • Helping people demonstrate to their managers the value of the contributions they are making, which in terms helps their manager support their employer investing in the project (unfortunately this is something that matters)
  • Highlighting the new features in Node.js and showing that they are being added by individuals like those mentioned. This should encourage other people to get involved and make similar contributions.
  • Highlighting those leading efforts/initiatives and they are being done by individuals or teams like those mentioned. This should encourage other people to get involved and make similar contributions

Bi-monthly contributor spotlight

The contributor spotlight program showcases individual(s) or teams who have made signification contributions to the project. Anybody who is not a member of the Technical Steering Committee (TSC) and has made a notable contribution to the project can be nominated. They DO NOT need to be a collaborator, team member etc.

The work of the team or individual(s) will be showcased on the Node.js social channels and, if warranted, through a blog post created by the OpenJS marketing staff along with the team or individual(s) which will be published on openjsf.org.

Nominations can be made through this web form: Contributor Spotlight nomination

Nominations will be reviewed/approved by the Technical Steering Committee (TSC) on a regular basis as scheduled by the TSC chair. The TSC will also recommend the order in which approved nominations are processed by the OpenJS marketing staff.

Before any work proceeds on an approved nomination the individual(s) or team will be contacted to confirm they want to participate. Social content and or spotlight blog post will only be published after the team or individual(s) have confirmed they are happy with the content.
