#706 Google CodeIn participant with Fedora
Closed: pushed 4 years ago by jflory7. Opened 4 years ago by sumantrom.

Badge description (like "You added a co-maintainer to a package. BFF!"):
- Fedora participates in Google CodeIn and we have a lot of students who start their open source journey with us. This badge can be claimed for participating in Google CodeIn contest after successfully finishing any task during Google Code IN.

Help the badges team understand what this idea is all about. If this badge is
awarded for certain kinds of activities:

1) What are those activities?

Finishing at least one task in Google CodeIn 2019

2) Who is doing them (are they packagers? translators? newcomers? veterans?
users? sponsors?)
- Newcomers and Students

3) Why are they doing them (is this a means to a different end?)
- They are getting started with Open Source.

4) When do they do them (every day? once a year?)
- Everyday during the program duration December 2019 through Feb 2020

5) How do they do them (by talking in IRC? by running commands in the console?
by using a web interface?)
- They submit it in Google Codein's lnterface and we review them by IRC and various means. @siddharthvipul1 and @sumantrom are the Org Admin and would like to have the power to allot the badges to students

Lastly, do you have any ideas for artwork concepts?

Hi @viv this is a great start! A couple suggestions to help it fit with the guidelines for badge design.

  • Checking in on the logo from Google. Please provide a link where you got this.. We need to confirm that it is ok to use, and also I am guessing we can't make any alterations to it.
  • The design falls outside the badge design area. (the google logo goes over the edge) We allow this on occasion if the design calls for it. There are some others that were approved without my knowledge that may do this, and need to be revised. This one I think we can fit within the badge design area no problem :)
  • Is the logo a pin on the panda? is the panda holding it? It seems like it is just floating in space there.. you could give the panda a tshirt and put the logo on that.. or you could have the panda holding a laptop with the logo.. or even a piece of paper?? This part is up to you, the logo just needs to be grounded
  • I think the background could use some pop, what about the same sunburst background used here: https://badges.fedoraproject.org/badge/grillardin-cookbook-iii
  • make sure you are exporting the png at the right size (see guidelines)
  • upload PNG and SVG to ticket for review

Here is a reference for badge design, I would suggest you review and refer to that for help. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/badges/design-badges/

Looking forward to the next draft :) Thanks!

Hi @viv, I did a google search and found this: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/resources/marketing It looks like yes, we can use the logo, with attribution to Google, which is what I expected, and is fine. It doesn't look like they are offering an SVG so what you have should be fine.

When referring to our marks, please include the following attribution statement: "Google Code-in and the Google Code-in logo are trademarks of Google Inc."

The revisions are much improved :) I like the panda with the tshirt best. The panda is looking a lil slim, though? We like chonky pandas here!! Make the panda rounder :) Also, the mouth is a darker color, for other badges we just keep it the same as the rest of the panda color so switch that back to the Fedora blue

Thanks!

Hi @viv hmm I think the stroke got a little too heavy now hehe. Also for roundness, refer to this design: https://badges.fedoraproject.org/badge/neurofedora-sig-member

based on that
- remove the neck
- reduce the size of the head a little bit
- make the arms a bit wide and rounder

Thanks!

@viv that looks a lot better! :) would it be ok if I add a few last touches on it? Thanks!

That's OK :)

@riecatnor Brilliant! I can definitely see the improvements and chubbiness. I'll keep this in mind :D

@viv thanks, and thank you for your work on this badge! Setting to approved :)

@riecatnor Thanks! :D

@riecatnor It's been quite some time GCI is over, The Badge seems ready to be pushed.

Badge assets and rule pushed in #733. Badge is now live on the Badges site. Instead of using manual authorizations, I created a FAS group (google-codein) and made @sumantrom the owner. Adding someone to that FAS group should grant them the badge.

Closing as pushed. :clapper:

I gave @sumantrom and @siddharthvipul1 authorization to manually award the badge on badges.fp.o.

Turns out FAS is not emitting fedora-messaging events right now. Until those messages are added back to the bus, this badge and all other badges with FAS sponsorship rules need to be manually awarded.

I don't think much participants are around, although there was a task in GCI to sign up for a FAS ID and creating a Pagure profile too.

I saw a Welcome-to-Fedora ticket of @p4r4xor by @alishapapun , It would be great if we can ask the mentors of that task to see which participants are active here & then @sumantrom or @siddharthvipul1 can award the badge. :)

What we (I mean I) can do is award it to the mentors and leave a message in the fedora summer coding group asking if you were a part of GCI, please send me your fas ID and I can award them.
I don't see the point of bugging mentors to see if they remember the participants :)
Surely it's not a bad option but I also feel active GCI folks would know about this in one way or another and ask for it (I will leave a message to a couple of places).
Works?

@jflory7 A question for you :)
is the FAS GCI group for mentors or for everyone (participants)

contd..
I think it will be a group suitable for mentors and folks involved in/around GCI planning, mentoring and facilitating.
If we add participants, it might end up as just one of the tasks.
Which is not bad if we are considering introduction to badges system (we can keep it on a separate intro task) but I am not sure there needs to be a GCI group for participants
just thinking out loud
