Hello All, It is awesome that we have the PR of the Month award to recognize the PR with the most impact each month, voted by the community.
I would like to propose the addition of another award "Rookie PR" to recognize new budding contributors. This will be an incentive for newcomers and inspire them to pick up PRs. In the long run, this will result in reduction of the list of open PRs as well. Name of the Award : Rookie PR Mission statement : - to recognize meaningful contributions by new and budding contributors - inspire newcomers and novices relatively new to the community to pick up new PRs - make project feel more welcoming and inclusive Nomination process: - encourage self-nominations and community nominations, so it is convenient for anyone to recognize another fellow contributor, in any category (like UI, Providers, Core, CI/CD, Helm Charts, AI). Qualifying Criteria: - These awards are FOR the Community and BY the community. The intent is to give a shout out to (new and existing non top 100) team members who are working on Apache Airflow project. - Same person cannot win every month for different categories. They cannot win a Top PR award in the same month. This is to ensure no repetitions for winners each month. - There can be a Rookie PR winner for each category, if the community chooses to do so. - Winner(s) will be based on consensus or exceptional performance by the community. Possibly we can have a list in one place - say Wiki, or Apache Airflow website, so all winners are in one place at a glance. This way, it will be easy for the community to check and then nominate accordingly to ensure no repetitions for Rookie PR winners. As we discussed in past threads, we will start with Rookie PR and go for additional awards later, if there is appetite. Mentioning here for reference sake. Appreciate your inputs to enhance this idea and eventually implement it for the community. Warm Regards, Srabasti Banerjee
