GSoC 2020 final work report - CHAOSS Badging project

GSoC with CHAOSS banner

Table of contents

About the project

CHAOSS D&I Badging project aims to promote good D&I practices by assigning Badges to Events and Projects based on the good practices they follow. It is also a way to implement CHAOSS D&I metrics.The badge assignments happen after an open peer review process which takes place over GitHub issues. The metrics act as a reference source for creating checklists which reviewers can edit and track their observations on.

Objectives

My GSoC work was focused on building a GitHub based workflow for supporting D&I Badging reviews. There were various components to this:

  • Setting up Rules for the process
  • Defining Roles to separate GitHub permissions and work for the Review
  • Creating bots to automate parts of the review flow
  • Reiterating through the process based on feedback from mentors and the D&I working group :)
