PROCESS CHANGE: provide digital contribution badges about community HOT 8 OPEN

Hello! This sounds really great :) I’m not sure this is super relevant but I was also thinking that you could offer after a couple of contributions (maybe 15?), to give a recommendation or endorsement on the persons LinkedIn? This would be free, but it might also be time consuming for the maintainers.

It might be viewed well by possible contributors as it’s a publically available personalized message on their work ethic they can point to.

@aliok I was speaking to @krook about this last week and he recommended also taking a look at Holopin, it seems like they have an open source program, although it isn't currently active (apparently it is being revamped). They do have public pricing though, so maybe we can assess if that pricing is reasonable

Thanks for creating this ticket Calum. I think this would be a great initiative.

Things to find out:

• Does Credly have an open source free usage?
• How much Credly costs?
• Can we find funding for it?
• Does CNCF have some agreement with Credly that we can leverage?

@salaboy Naina told me you're working on something similar on Dapr side. Any information that you can share with us?

There's some progress made on CNCF side on this matter: cncf/toc#1248 (comment)

No details available at this moment though.
