[John Tierney]

Hello,

I think the title you may be looking for is "Sugar Facilitator" or "Sugar Ambassador".

Best!

I wonder if there shouldn't be a certification for "Sugar Animators" or something like this (actually I'd like to find a better word than "animator"). I'm thinking on the people that contributes keeping the community or a local lab moving on: Organizing events, coordinating teams of programmers or educators, making public Sugar advocacy, doing bureaucratic stuff needed to keep Sugar Labs or a local lab working, looking for resources, etc.

It's not that I want a certification that fits me ;-) IMHO they're important actors that should be recognized.

Following up on a thread begun in mid July

(http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2011-July/013736.html) I

would like to discuss the following proposal this morning:



Sugar Labs will award certificates to developers to acknowledge and

celebrate their contributions to the Sugar Learning Platform. Several

certificates will be made available: Sugar X Contributor; Sugar

Activity Developer; and Sugar Core Developer.



The Sugar X Contributor certificate will be given to an individual who

over the course of a sustained effort of at least 6 months contributes

to some Sugar community team, e.g., Sugar Translation Contributor.

(The teams are listed on the wiki). The specific criteria for

certification will be determined by the team coordinators, but in

general, it would involve a repeated effort on behalf of the team's

goals at a high level of quality (e.g., of quality sufficient to be

incorportated into our offerings).



The Sugar Activity Developer certificate will be given to an

individual who develops at least one Sugar activity that is

subsequently posted on the Sugar activity portal and be of sufficient

quality to be approved for public release. The activity must also

include internationalization, including the submission of a POT file

to the Translation Team, and documentation, including the creation of

a page in the wiki under the Activity category. As will the

Contributor certificates, sign off will be made by the associated team

coordinators, in this case the Activity team.



The Sugar Core Developer certificate will be given to an individual

who over the course of one year makes significant contributions to the

Sugar core libraries, e.g., sugar-toolkit or sugar. Sign off will be

made by the Developer team coordinators.
