Regarding swags

[powerstone666]

Does everyone who participates get swags or only top contributors ?

Everyone who participates gets Certificates, and we have lot of swags for you guys,
in terms of collaborating with sponsored swags like the one running with XYZ Domain.

In GSSoC (GirlScript Summer of Code) or similar programs, typically, swags or rewards are often distributed to participants based on their contributions and participation levels.

Here's how it generally works:

Swags Distribution:

1. Top Contributors: Usually, top contributors or participants who have made significant contributions, completed tasks, or achieved certain milestones may receive special rewards or swags. These rewards can vary from program to program and may include merchandise, certificates, or other goodies.

2. Active Participants: Many programs also offer swags or rewards to all active participants who have actively contributed, engaged in discussions, attended events, or completed tasks, even if they haven't achieved top contributor status.

Criteria for Swags:

• Quality Contributions: The quality and impact of contributions are often considered in determining who receives swags.
• Consistency: Regular participation and consistent contributions throughout the program duration may also be rewarded.
• Engagement: Active engagement with the community, helping others, and contributing beyond code (such as documentation, testing, or organizing events) may increase your chances of receiving swags.

Distribution Methods:

• Top Contributor Recognition: Top contributors may be publicly recognized and rewarded during closing ceremonies or through announcements.
• Swags Distribution: Swags can be distributed either physically or digitally, depending on the program's logistics and resources.

Transparency:

• Programs usually provide transparency about swag distribution criteria and communicate it clearly to participants.

In summary, while top contributors often receive special recognition and rewards, active participation and meaningful contributions can also earn you swags in many programs like GSSoC. Make sure to engage, contribute, and enjoy the experience regardless of the swags!

If you are a beginner, focus on learning, instead of swags and all, these things you will automatically get it, I have dozens of swags just by changing my mindset.

According to GSSoC, only the top 25 contributors can receive the swag kit, and every contributor who participated in GSSoC will receive a certificate, whether they are top contributors or not.

But we are here not only to get a swag kit or similar perks. If we don't get the swag kit, no worries! We will expand our network, learn new skills, and make great contributions together. We will learn how to collaborate with new people. If you do get it, that would be great, but if not, no worries—you will earn more here than just material things.
