Open Badges for awesome Czech documentation contributors!

LibreOffice’s documentation team is driven by volunteers around the world. Today, we want to say a special thanks to members of the Czech LibreOffice community, who’ve worked hard to translate and proof-read the software’s documentation. So we’re sending out Open Badges – special, customised badges with embedded metadata, describing their achievements. The badges can be verified using an external service, and are a great way to show off contributions and use as proof of participation. So, here are the badge recipients – we’re sending them out personally: Translators: Petr Kuběj, Radomír Strnad and Zdenek Crhonek Proof-readers: Petr Valach and Marcela Tomešová Czech screenshots: Roman Toman Git and OmegaT maintenance, machine translations, chapters cleaning and tools support: Miloš Šrámek Huge thanks to all recipients – check your inbox for your badges!

50 Open Badges awarded for top LibreOffice translators!

A few months ago, we announced Open Badges for LibreOffice contributors. These are custom images with embedded metadata, awarded to our most active community members to say thanks for their great work! The metadata describes the contributor’s work, and the badge can be verified using an external service. Open Badges are used by other free software projects, such as Fedora. Anyway, today we’re awarding 50 Open Badges to the most active members in our localisation community, based on Weblate activity so far this year. Congratulations to everyone who got a badge – we’ve emailed it to you!

Open Badges for top wiki contributors!

Open Badges are special images that we’re awarding to super-active contributors in the LibreOffice project. They contain metadata describing the contributor’s work, which can be verified using an external service. Open Badges are used by other free software projects, such as Fedora.

So, congratulations to the following users – we’ll send you your badge in the next couple of days. Feel free to proudly show it off on your wiki user page, website, blog or social media.
