I would love to see it driven by the User Committee.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I am definitely supportive of creating more formal recognition and criteria for non-ATC contributors with the goals of 1) recognizing the great work done by many folks in the community who are not contributing code, and 2) more clearly defining the constituency of the User Committee and various working groups (which may allow for things like voting in the future). My only recommendation is that we not conflate the recognition with free Summit passes, because that model may be changing in the future. Even right now, not all ATCs (as defined by the bylaws and TC) receive free passes. As the community has grown, the Foundation created a higher bar for free Summit passes (requiring the attendee to have contributed code or documentation in the most recent or current release cycle, rather than the last two release cycles, which is the true ATC definition). As a practical matter, we are always balancing the cost of putting on a Summit with subsidizing free passes.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I believe you're working more toward recognition on the badges than free passes, but I just wanted to confirm. Especially if we decide to decouple the project-specific design summit sessions from the main event, subsidizing free Summit badges for code contributors may change. There are several options on the table at this point, so I just want to make sure we’re not setting any expectations in the community that we can’t meet :)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks,</div><div class="">Lauren</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Mar 28, 2016, at 10:48 AM, Shamail <<a href="mailto:itzshamail@gmail.com" class="">itzshamail@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div dir="auto" class=""><div class=""></div><div class="">Hi Tim,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The Non-ATC WG was/is being formed per the last User Committee meeting.

<div class="">I notice in the draft agenda for the OpenStack foundation board meeting [1] next week there is an item regarding the non ATC contributions due at 10:20.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The criteria being proposed are as follows but this would seem to be pre-empting the discussions due in the non-ATC recognition working group [2].</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Has there been any discussion with the user committee or this working group on these proposals ?</div>

In light of the many individuals who are contributing their time and effort to build a vibrant OpenStack community, we are asking for the OpenStack Foundation Board’s support to increase awareness of and reward other community contributors in the same way we
reward technical contributors. We want to appropriately identify community leaders who advance the objectives of the OpenStack Community and reinforce the vibrant community that continues to evolve through the amazing efforts around the world from all the
great leaders, technical or not. These community leaders should be invited to have a free pass to the Summit and be designated as an active community contributor (“ACC”) similar to an active technical contributor (“ATC”).</dd></dl>

[1] To facilitate this, the OpenStack Foundation should change the User Profile page to include ways other than “projects” that people can use to document their contributions. Right now, the profile pages are only focused on code contributors but could even
provide a few more community-oriented check boxes in that section</dd></dl>
