Badges is a fantastic way to incentivize contributors and recognize activity. We already have a "meta" series of badges that is awarded for hitting milestone numbers of badges, so awarding badges for collecting groups or sequences of badges, can direct activity even further.
After doing some rudimentary analysis on the badges community, I've compiled a list of the most common badges that are awarded for signing up for accounts and participating at a base level in the project.
These so far include: baby badger Let me Introduce myself bloggin' it crypto badger crypto panda Curious Penguin Involvement Mugshot Speakup! Macaron Cookie Origin Junior Tagger Junior Package Tagger White Rabbit
Help the badges team understand what this idea is all about. If this badge is awarded for certain kinds of activities: 1) This badge is awarded for collecting each of the badges in the list above. 2) This badge will most often be awarded to newcomers, but can be awarded to anyone who has previously collected the bootstapped series. 3) The series basically establishes a general familiarity with the Fedora Account System, Planet, IRC, and Tagger. This is 4) The badges would be awarded on an ongoing basis, but only once per user. 5) In theory, a .yaml rules file, similar to the one that awards badges for achieving milestone amounts of badges could be adapted?
Lastly, do you have any ideas for artwork concepts?
6) In my mind's eye, I can imagine the artwork for this being a boot. Something like pegasus boots, with a Fedora Logo, and wings on them? Or perhaps something more tech-y, like a Megaman style rocket-powered robo- boot, with a glowing Fedora Logo? Something with boots, the Fedora Logo, and being able to move at an improved rate :)
As an additional bit of data, I'd like to utilize a series like this to help establish a path for onboarding new contributors and applicants to Fedora's Outreachy program this winter: http://bit.ly/fedoraoutreachy2015
