Hello,
I saw that Significant contributor to open source projects is an example evidence for MC whereas we also have GitHub or Stack Overflow profile demonstrating active / ongoing participation and Evidence of contributions to an open-source project as OC2 (Recognition for Work Outside Immediate Occupation).
Is the one stated as MC related to an open-source project that is developed as part of a recent job, e.g. the company you work for has an open-source project to which you contribute? Or can it simply be a list/screenshots/links of commits, PRs, Code Reviews in public Github repositories (sound more like Outside immediate occupation but not sure)
I have various (spare-time) code contributions to different open-source projects in Github. One of them though is quite substantial in terms of that repo’s functionality (1100 stars repo, important tool for a research field in AI). I also have 1-2 repositories with more than 100 stars that I had developed & maintained myself only. Trying to understand how can I distribute these into potential evidences.
UPDATE: I found that in the official docs, the following is given as an example MC criterion so its not about the project being maintained/owned by your company I suppose. So maybe they are really very similar things but kept under both MC and an OC to allow for people to use it in various places?
Outside of your normal day-to-day job role, you led or were a significant contributor to a substantial open source project, as evidenced from compilation of code commit summaries, repo stars or similar metrics such as download statistics, where possible.
Thanks!
