Key Contributors

Introduction

The Sylius Key Contributors program is an initiative designed to actively engage and recognize community members who contribute significantly to the Sylius ecosystem. This program replaces previous structures to create a more inclusive, transparent, and rewarding experience for contributors.

The program's goal is to encourage collaboration, celebrate contributions, and ensure a thriving open-source ecosystem around Sylius.

How to Qualify as a Key Contributor

Key Contributors are selected quarterly based on their activities and contributions. Here's what we evaluate:

• Submitted Pull Requests.

• Reviews of Pull Requests.

• Filed GitHub issues.

• Engagement in GitHub and Slack discussions.

• Resolving community support requests on Slack (#support), StackOverflow, and GitHub.
