Native Android developer/Consultant for Appwise, I work on custom projects for clients.
PHP/JS (web) developer in my freetime. Trying to keep learning in an ever changing tech world.
I didn't realize the importance of the badge until my friend shared a video of this. Feels pretty good knowing that my code is going to be stored for like 1000 years 😇
He/Him/His
I'm a Software Engineer and a teacher.
There's no feeling quite like the one you get when you watch someone's eyes light up learning something they didn't know.
I thought everyone gets it, as an encouragement during the covid period... now I checked again and found it's something else, lol. No matter what, happy to get a badge! (I wonder what's in the "more" section because I won't archive that one page svelte hacker news repo....
Ha ha, thank you so much, Annie, for your comment about my post and image! I knew I'd made a boo-boo so I quickly deleted and tried again - and finally got it right! Looks like my old version still appeared a few places, but hopefully, that'll peter out soon. But thanks for speaking up!!
Very cool that they're looking to preserve all this code for the next 1000 years (at least!). If anyone wants to read about it: archiveprogram.github.com/
"GitHub Inc. said today it has delivered a copy of all of the open-source software code stored on its website to a data repository at the Arctic World Archive, which is a very long-term archival facility buried 250 meters deep in the permafrost of an Arctic mountain." "(...), it will store its code in an archive called the GitHub Arctic Code Vault, which it says has been built to last for a thousand years."
Learned Fortran on an old TI-99; forgot Fortran; learned to draw, paint, sculpt, and play violin; learned how to merge code and art, turned it into my UX/Front-end dev Frankenthing.
Science, engineering, coding and music geek for vocation and profit.
My main areas of interest include machine learning, automation, smart home/IoT, IT security, infrastructure design and devops.
Btw, does anyone know if there's a way to see the full list of projects that have been included? As a contributor to several open-source projects, I'd like to see the full list instead of a generic "and more".
I never applied for the program, wasnt even aware of it, but still i received the message :"You contributed code to the 2020 GitHub Archive Program and now have a badge for it. Thank you for being part of the program!" I find this very suspicious. I really hated it when Microsoft acquired GitHub. I wish GitHub remained fully independent; now with these data hungry companies that want to track spy and know everything what can we expect. Microsoft bought GitHub that bought in turn NPM, I really dont feel at ease with all that.
They gave the badge to everyone who contributed to any open source project, even if it's your own repos. But in the badge they only mention the top 3 starred repos you contributed to, so eh, it's nice to have I guess.
Considering my little contribution to open source, still I got the badge :D
Most of my Repo's are related to embedded system programs (like Arduino and RPi)
Father and husband; Engineer and Hobbyist. I recently took on a position as a mobile engineer, but still love testing! For additional fun, I enjoy hobby game dev, pixel art, and variety streaming
Yep, I'm in it! That is such a cool idea. I just wish I could get some of my newer stuff in there. Ah well, they're bound to update it eventually, right?
For the first time in my life, I feel like I'm sitting with the cool kids at the lunch table :D
What a time to be alive.
Thanks for sharing! Didn't know about the badge
Hey,
Can we still contribute to this github program.
I think this selection was taken in February 2020, but they might archive more repos later, who knows?
They might do it again later. This program already began its journey to arctic with over 21TB of repository data.
Yes :)
Nice!
Wew
Noice!
Our codes in arctic? 😱
Yup !
Oh my goodness I'm so glad you wrote this - was WONDERING! Also, Nick, your responses to folks are HILARIOUS - those may be my favorite part!
Thanks and congrats! Here's some fried chicken care of Loki.
TOO GOOD, love this!
Here it is.
Nice!

Yes! Including my contributions to forem/forem...
You're in!
Would like to know that can we still contribute for it.
No idea. Checkout github.com or a quick Google to see.

yeah I saw that... then I deleted my comment too lol.
Congrats!
Yep! github.com/gautamkrishnar
😮 WoW
I made it but just a quiz app with lots of bad code.
I made it! All I did was remove some urls from documentation. (domains had expired, and the new owner redirected them to adult content).
Yeah! And of course with contribution to Forem 🤗💚
Yes, I just saw this badge on my profile. Thanks for sharing. Good job guys!
But why Arctic? I couldn't understand the reason behind this naming. I am part of it too.
It’s because they are literally storing it in the Arctic. ❄️⛄️
Come on. Lol.
Woow, my learning journey with Apache kafka well be documented for next generations !!
Such a great Honour :D
Really neat to be part of this!

WOW!!!
I needed some good news. I didn't expect this good of news, though.
I'll take it - seriously, this made my day.
Yes :)
I've been awarded for this repos: doublespeakgames/adarkroom, cydrobolt/polr, miniflux/miniflux and more...
I'm there too :)
Btw, does anyone know if there's a way to see the full list of projects that have been included? As a contributor to several open-source projects, I'd like to see the full list instead of a generic "and more".
🤗 My NuGet Packages: ToolBox and Colorify going to 🥶
Yes :)

I am in! forem 🌱 I see you 👀

Nice
Apparently my code is also important... 🤣

Yea
Yeah!
:)
You're in!
Got mine too.
Yes! Just saw I was added.
I did! 🎉
Thanks for pointing it out.
Wow, surprisingly I have!
Yeah :)
To my surprise, I am!
I wonder what the and more repos are though.
🤔
What are these "and more repos"...
Made it :)
You're in!
Who knew fixing the grammar in a README.md would result in badge!.. I'm in!
Just a friendly reminder folks...
Any contribution to Open Source is valuable
