Announcing the second group of Open Source Peer Bonus winners in 2022



We’re excited to announce our second group of Open Source Peer Bonus winners in 2022! The Google Open Source Peer Bonus program is designed to recognize external open source contributors nominated by Googlers for their open source contributions. This cycle, we are pleased to announce a total of 141 winners across 110+ projects, residing in 36 countries.

All open source contributors external to Google are eligible to be nominated. Whether you’re a software engineer, technical writer, community advocate, mentor, user experience designer, security expert, or educator, etc. you can be nominated for a peer bonus

Our awards often come as a surprise to some while also providing motivation to others to responsibly contribute to open source. Learn more about what the Google Open Source Peer Bonus program means to our winners from this cycle:

“It was a very nice surprise to receive the Open Source Peer Bonus notification. I hope it can help lift contributors off, not only for their code contributions but for community contributions too.” – Oriol Abril Pla, ArviZ, PyMC

“The Kubernetes and CNCF ecosystem is massive. So, there are tons of opportunities to carve out your own niche in them. One of my key goals has been to make the project(s) more secure than how they were when I joined them. These awards are a welcome sprinkle of motivation to keep being a responsible open source contributor.” – Pushkar Joglekar, Kubernetes and CNCF

“I’m very pleased and proud to receive a Google Open Source Peer Bonus award. I was nominated for my contributions to The Good Docs Project where we are creating technical writing templates to help other projects create high-quality documentation. I’m passionate about the work we’re doing there, and have been hanging around the project since its inception in 2019. This is a friendly, inclusive community creating a safe space for folk to dip their toe into open source. We are global, and new folk are always welcome.” – Felicity Brand, The Good Docs Project

“I've been actively working on open source projects since my time at NIST with the FDS project starting in 2006. More recently with The Good Docs Project (TGDP) since 2020. It's been a very rewarding experience to contribute to TGDP, with such an amazing diversity of participants, perspectives and interests involved. To be given recognition through the OSPB program was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. While it's not at all what I am participating in the project for, it feels great to have someone else in the project bring my name up for this award. Thank you to TGDP and to Google for this honor.” – Bryan Klein, The Good Docs Project

“The Open Source Peer Bonus program is more than an appreciation for our contribution to the open source world. It encourages people to share their talent. To be the hero of the ones who are benefiting from your work, put your codes in the open source world.” – Nan YE, Orange Innovation China

“The TFX team and community is by far the most responsive, helpful and knowledgeable open-source project that I have worked on. It's a great feeling to be a part of the democratizing of productionised ML workflows, and being officially recognised on your efforts and contributions is the cherry on top.” – Jens Wiren, Analytical Impact Solutions

“The HTTP Archive team is welcoming to contributors and happily showed me the ropes until I got going. The project is invaluable to the web community, and working on the Web Almanac allowed me to work with domain experts on several topics, including Performance, JavaScript, and Third Parties.” – Kevin Farrugia, HTTP Archive

“Participating in these projects has been a great learning experience and has given me the opportunity to connect with a lot of great people. I am humble and grateful for the recognition and appreciation this program gives to the contributions made to these projects.” – Ole Markus With, kOps/etcdadm

“Google has been very generous in recognising VertFlow, which is a tool still in its infancy after the idea popped into my head a few months ago in conversation with a Google Cloud Customer Engineer. I hope this will encourage users to adopt VertFlow to reduce their carbon footprint when using GCP.” – Jack Lockyer-Stevens, VertFlow
