Is anyone here active on GitHub and _not_ a vault contributor?
I was pretty happy to find that my company's free football data made it in, although I'm not sure how much help that's going to be to rebuild society after the collapse:

- opan 6y agoI open a lot of issues but don't really commit code and I didn't get the badge.
- thom 6y agoThat feels like an oversight, what a shame not to acknowledge those contributions.
- jka 6y agoYep, no doubt there's a huge amount of valuable contribution archive material in pull request and issue comments as well. Some of these may be available soon via joint partner initiatives[1].

- Athas 6y agoWere issues also archived? This badge is specifically an indicator of whether code you committed made it into the vault, not whether you contributed to a project in some other way, or a for other reasons a nice person. I'm still cynical enough to think that this is mostly a PR move. If society breaks down to the point where we need to open up code vaults, I think massively distributed local archives will be more useful than some remote arctic data center.
