As we published yesterday, the new Meetup Tracker comes with a lot of great new benefits, including the fact the we will be able to link meetup groups with each organiser’s WordPress.org profile. This means that we can finally give out user profile badges to meetup organisers.
We need to decide what icon and colour to use for this badge, so here is a proposal for discussion:
- Colour:
#f7ad43 - Icon:
dashicons-nametag
This will make the badge the same colour as the WordCamp Organiser and WordCamp Speaker badges (so all of our community involvement badges are the same colour), and the icon is the one we already use in the WordPress Events and News widget to indicate a meetup event. This will keep things logical and consistent across the network.
If we go with that icon and colour combination, here’s what the badge will look like in context:
The badge will be automatically assigned based on the WordPress.org usernames that we have for the organisers of each group once the group is live and in our chapter account.
We’ll leave this post open for comments until the end of this week (16 September 2018) before finalising the badge design and setting it up for profiles.
