Able to work synchronously via Zoom, Meet, and asynchronously via Slack
Requirements:
Able to present a portfolio of product-related work
Per the definition of the Core Contributor program, a demonstration of the “3 C’s”:
Commitment: Has shown ongoing work in the Product space for the Open edX community
Conduct: In written and verbal communication, is welcoming to all, provides helpful feedback, and overall maintains a positive attitude
Caliber: The work produced is of a consistent high quality
*Note: As we are in the early stages of building a product organization for Open edX, it is expected that no one currently has very much community Product work to showcase in their portfolio or as part of their Commitment. Thus, we expect it may take some time before any member of the community is a candidate for the Product Core Contributor position.
