Project Badging

CHAOSS DEI Project Badge Levels

Bronze badge

CHAOSS DEI Project Badging currently offers one badge level: Bronze. As the project evolves, it is our intention to include additional CHAOSS metrics in the DEI.md file as indicators of Silver, Gold, and Platinum level badges. CHAOSS DEI Project Badging is intended to follow an incremental approach that requires the presence of one badge to apply for the next and an understanding of the criteria associated with each badge level. This will enable applicants to showcase their commitment, dedication, and consistent efforts in meeting the evolving DEI standards for each badge.

Bronze Badge

The bronze badge is the first-level badge. The badge primarily focuses on how the project metrics provided in the DEI.md file meet the basic requirements according to the CHAOSS DEI metrics.

Criteria:

  • Having a DEI.md file in your project repository
  • The presence of required metrics headers in the DEI.md file
  • The presence of details on how the project attends to the four metrics: Project Access, Inclusive Leadership, Communication Transparency, and Newcomer Experiences.

Silver, Gold, and Platinum Badges will be coming soon. Please join us in our open and collaborative conversations when considering what CHAOSS metrics would be best suited as indicators of these badges. You can join the CHAOSS project through their Slack workspace.
