Contributor Appreciation

As a volunteer-based open source community, we recognize the importance of acknowledging each other's successes and showing appreciation for one another. We strive to build a culture of empathy, appreciation, transparency, and accountability. It's hard when you can't pay everyone who contributes, but shouldn't stop us from building a great culture.

In our #general channel in Slack, we give weekly or bi-weekly updates on project accomplishments and shoutouts to the individuals who yielded them. We also encourage everyone to give shoutouts to folks who have helped them whether it's in our public channels or one-on-one!

Our site's Contribute page we list the contributors who consented to be featured. We also want to do more in-depth interviews and profiles with our community on our blog.

We will mail you stickers which you can keep for yourself and share with folks in your local community.

We're always open to more ideas to give back to contributors, so let us know in #community.
