Nominate 3 new Digital Public Goods

[lacabra]

Nominate 3 new projects as Digital Public Goods defined as open source software, open data, open AI models, open standards and open content that adhere to privacy and other applicable laws and best practices, do no harm, and help attain the SDGs.

Instructions

You can accomplish the same goal through the two different options below:

1. Create a pull request for the project you are nominating (refer to our contributing guidelines). This may be the preferred way for developers who are more accustomed to coding and managing repo files directly.
2. Provide additional information about the project (this is where you’re research skills come into play!) by completing this form here. This is meant for the general public, where one does not need to interact with this repo at all.

⚠️ NOTE: This issue is meant to be generic and is meant to accept a variety of Pull Requests from different contributors. Thus, avoid the following keywords: close, closes, closed, fix, fixes, fixed, resolve, resolves, resolved in your PR or commit message that would close it automatically. Kindly leave it open so that it remains visible for others to contribute. Thank you! 🙏

Just to clarify do we have to do both that is, make a pull request and submit the form?

[lacabra]

No, you have a choice of doing it either way. I have edited the description to clarify.

Hi @lacabra, i'm an Outreachy applicant, I have read through all the instructions but I am a bit confused about how to find new projects to nominate them. Am I supposed to search online for any project in the world that might be considered as DPG or is there a registry of projects that could be nominated? My understanding is that https://digitalpublicgoods.net/registry/ is a list of projects from the nominees folder that have already been added.

I have a question. In the end of the form we have to choose "Submit now as a DPG Nominee" or "Continue with the full submission process". Which one should I choose?

[lacabra]

@AriadneBigheti, you should choose Submit now as a DPG Nominee

[Melodie97]

Hi @lacabra, for those that nominate a DPG via the web submission form, how do you identify who nominated the DPG

[lacabra]

@Melodie97 simply comment on the PR that is opened claiming authorship, and that will do 😀

Closing this issue as this cohort ended in late 2021. Thanks.
