A hundred million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed Fedoraland, we
created Badges (then we were all promptly eaten by raptors).
There were, however, a few ambitious badge ideas that never happened. I
present them for wider consideration, especially in the context of the
proposed FAD.
1) User badges
Goal: Provide an opportunity for a deeper community engagement for
Fedora users, and a gentle on-ramp to moving from user to contributor.
Prompt users to opt-in to local badges during initial setup (if they do,
have them attach a FAS account or create one).
Run a local fedmsg daemon which sends notifications of local badges over
to Fedora Badges.
Examples "Installed Fedora 29!", "KDE User", "Updater Level 1"
2) Badge sets
Goal: Encourage deeper levels of Fedora engagement
Have a set with five badges, when all badges are earned, you unlock a
set badge. This can encourage people to do specific behaviors that we
want them to do (or need more help doing).
2A) Swag rewards for badge sets
Complete this badge set, get a Fedora Badger shirt. Or whatever.
