Idea: Incentives for volunteers

Open Mohammed-Shoaib opened this issue 4 years ago • 15 comments

Hey GitHub Education team!

I think it'd be cool if the volunteers could receive some form of incentive.

  • Certificate of appreciation?
  • Swag, cool T-shirt?
  • Something else?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

Thank you so much! :relaxed: You guys are truly the best. :heart:

At first I was a little depressed, but thanks to you guys, I am now super-hyped about our graduation! :tada::confetti_ball:

I sincerely thank the entire GitHub education team for making our graduation AMAZING! :fire:

I'll keep this thread open for future updates on this or any other ideas.

Yeah this would be super awesome! I got a few people messaging me on instagram and facebook also asking how to contribute to the reviewing process because they saw me review quite a few

You were a diligent reviewer. I made a new PR and now after one corrected commit. No one is reviewing my application and committing it. :(

@elisemoe That's really great if the volunteers can have a few incentives. Thank you GitHub Education team. I have reviewed over 80 PRs I think.

An octocat t-shirt would be amazing.
