Celebrating Community Excellence with the Dapr Meteor Program
Recently, the Dapr OSS project announced their community championship program, Dapr Meteors! The Dapr Meteors program is designed to acknowledge individuals who have made a big impact in the Dapr community. These contributions can take various forms, including but not limited to:
- Speaking about Dapr at conferences and meetups.
- Creating Dapr content, such as blog posts and videos.
- Making and facilitating Dapr workshops.
- Contributing code or documentation to the Dapr repositories.
- Answering questions on the Dapr Discord and other social channels.
Diagrid is proud to be sponsoring the Dapr Meteors program. The Diagrid values align strongly with the community championship program, where collaboration, integrity, being humble, and courageous are important factors.
Diagrid congratulates the first Dapr Meteors: Alex Mang, Edwin van Wijk, Sander Molenkamp, and Will Velida! Thank you for all your community contributions over the past years!
Become a Dapr Meteor
To become a Dapr Meteor, community members must demonstrate a consistent pattern of valuable contributions over time. Twice per year, in April and October, the Dapr Community Managers and the program sponsors review the nominations and select individuals who have shown exceptional dedication and impact within the Dapr community.
Once selected, Dapr Meteors receive several benefits:
- Participation in the Dapr OSS planning calls.
- Join regular calls with the Dapr maintains to provide feedback.
- Recognition on the Dapr website.
- A digital badge to showcase their status.
- Receive exclusive Dapr swag.
- Access to a budget to organize local Dapr events.
The Dapr Meteor program not only celebrates individual achievements but also serves to inspire and motivate others in the community to contribute actively and help each other.
