Bounty Program

info

The aim of our bounty program is to encourage and reward the community for contributing to the growth and experimentation on OSO. Bounties are only available to members of the Kariba Data Collective.

Competitive Bounties​

Occassionally we post data science bounties and run community competitions. Each bounty has a set of requirements and a reward. See our list of Data Challenges or historical bounties on Bountycaster.

The best way to learn about new data bounties is to follow us on Twitter or join our Discord.

Ongoing Bounties​

We also have a number of ongoing bounties for contributing to the oss-directory. These bounties are available to all members of the Data Collective and are paid out in USD.

note

Please reach out to one of the maintainers for guidance on what projects and ecosystems we're currently looking for help with. We don't want to waste your time on projects that are already well-covered or that we don't have the capacity to review.

Adding a New Project​

💰 1.00 USD per new project successfully added to the OSS Directory.

The new entry must include a project slug (unique identifier), name, and an initial GitHub organization or repository.

Example:

version: 7 # ensure you are using the latest version
name: my-project
display_name: My Project
github:
  - url: https://github.com/myproject

Any additional artifacts beyond the initial GitHub organization or repo will be awarded per the schedule below.

Assigning Artifacts to Projects​
