Definition of Contributions

Contributions are “more than just code” and are often times hard to measure. Our team tries to start with a small subset and update this section over time.

• Source Code
• Documentation
• Tutorials and blog posts
• Workshops and trainings
• Issue discussion, resolving bugs and suggesting feature design/architecture
• Package and release distribution
• Help on community forums and social media

Resource and Time Dedication

Developer Evangelists are encouraged to find time every week for Open Source contributions.

Measurement

We aim to measure this in the form of submitted issues, MR/PRs and commit URLs where applicable.

Contribution Areas

It can be hard to decide, or make a one-time contribution a permanent engagement in a project, leading the way to maybe help maintain it in the future. As a first iteration, we define the requirements for qualifying projects:

• Use them on a daily basis (e.g. CLI tools)
• Help you and your environment (e.g. a calendar app)
• Benefits the ecosystem and makes processes easier

We focus on languages and frameworks where we have the most experience: Golang, C/C++, JS, Ruby, .NET, etc.
