For over a decade\, Fedora Badges has been the cornerstone of gamifying contributions and engaging achievements. However \, as we head into 2026\, the project faces a double deficit: crippling te chnical debt on the backend\, and a trust problem regarding undeployed mod ern artwork redesigns.\n\nOur hybrid session dives into the multi year per spective of the Fedora Badges Revamp Project and the artwork design mentor ing initiative. In the first half\, we will explore the live migration of legacy synchronous systems to a modern application stack\, on a staging en vironment. In the second half\, we will find ourselves leveraging the Forg ejo Migration to get redesigned artworks online.\n\nThis “Design To Depl oy Sprint” takes advantage of the recent aggressive move away from Fedor a Pagure to Fedora Forge\, to finally integrate our lost modern style guid elines into the upcoming Fedora Badges revamp. Thus\, emerging from our pa st coordination disconnects to not just move code and data\, but evolve th e reward system that unmistakably\, establishes the Fedora Project brand.\ n\n**Questions**\n\n- Primary question: How can we simultaneously moderniz e the legacy Fedora Badges system for the Fedora Forge era while designing modern gamification incentives to revitalize various subprojects and SIGs ?\n- Engagement question: How do we retroactively honor the modern badge a rtwork redesigns to restore the trust among the community designers while keeping up with the evolving requirements of the communities?\n\n**Releva nce**\n\n- Experience sharing: Understanding the user personas interacting with the Fedora Badges service platform\, their happinesses and their pai n points\, to find targets to pursue and potentially improve.\n- Coordinat ion healing: To openly acknowledgement the disconnection and discover ways to ensure that the efforts do not go unnoticed and time does not go sidel ined due to more pressing affairs.\n- Tangible progress: To give a milesto ne update to the community about the engineering progress and design effor ts - all while setting the community expectations on the project’s futur e.\n- End-to-end onboarding: To produce a verified batch of production-rea dy artwork and provide a hands-on experience to the attendees so that they can immediately start contributing to the design.\n\n**Methodology**\n\n* Part 1 - The Engine (Technical walkthrough)* \n\n- Identifying the potent ial risks of continually maintaining legacy systems and finding reasons to modernize the stack\n- Recognizing the complexities of the migrating data and evolving service system administration to cloud-native deployments\n- Interacting with the staging environment and discussing on balancing tech nical innovations with community continuity\n\n*Part 2 - The Paintjob (Des ign modernization)* \n\n- Reviewing the legacy guidelines against the mod ern ones and capitalizing on the Forgejo migration for the artwork overhau l\n- Collaborating with the attendees to create/refine existing badge artw orks using the modern artwork design guidelines\n- Uploading the refined b adges design artwork to demonstrate the roadmap for the replacing legacy b adges artwork process DTSTAMP:20260815T093243Z LOCATION:Opal SUMMARY:Fedora Badges Revamp Project - Design and Development Workshop - Ak ashdeep Dhar URL:https://cfp.fedoraproject.org/flock-to-fedora-2026/talk/ZKUX8D/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
