Help Us Recognize What Truly Matters — Take the Survey

Hi everyone, we want to invite you to take a few minutes to complete this survey by June 3rd, 2025 to help us identify the contributions, initiatives, or efforts that have made a real difference in the Open edX community.

The Open edX community grows stronger not just because of what we build — but because of how we recognize and uplift each other along the way.

That’s the spirit behind the Distinguished Contributor Program.

It’s not top-down. It’s peer-to-peer.
It’s not about fame. It’s about real impact — thoughtful contributions, steady presence, and the kind of work that makes us all better.


If you’ve seen a meaningful improvement, a thoughtful initiative, or steady effort that made a difference, we’d love to hear about it through the survey.

Here’s why this matters:

:small_blue_diamond: We build a culture of recognition — where people see and value each other’s efforts
:small_blue_diamond: That culture encourages impact — because when people feel seen, they step up even more
:small_blue_diamond: This momentum inspires others — drawing new contributors into a vibrant, welcoming space
:small_blue_diamond: And that’s how we grow the community — together, intentionally, with heart

If you’ve seen a contribution that made a difference — big or small — please take a moment to share it. Let’s celebrate what truly matters. Let’s keep building this culture.

:mega: New Deadline + Join Us at the Conference!

We’ve decided to extend the Distinguished Contributor Program nomination deadline to July 15!

Why? Because we want to hear from more of you.

This program is about celebrating the people who make Open edX thrive — and your voice matters in shaping how we do that.

:earth_africa: Not coming to the conference?

No problem! We’ve created a FAQ document where you can leave your questions, ideas, or concerns about the program. We’ll respond and keep the conversation going, wherever you are.

:date: Attending the Open edX Conference?

Let’s talk in person!

We’ll be hosting:

  • A Birds of a Feather session to openly discuss the program
  • A Town Hall talk on the final day to share insights, gather feedback, and align as a community

Your feedback will help us shape something that truly reflects what this community values.

:memo: If you haven’t yet, please fill out the nomination survey by July 15 and let us know who’s making an impact.

Let’s build this together!
