A hundred million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed Fedoraland, we created Badges (then we were all promptly eaten by raptors).
There were, however, a few ambitious badge ideas that never happened. I present them for wider consideration, especially in the context of the proposed FAD.
1) User badges Goal: Provide an opportunity for a deeper community engagement for Fedora users, and a gentle on-ramp to moving from user to contributor.
Prompt users to opt-in to local badges during initial setup (if they do, have them attach a FAS account or create one).
Run a local fedmsg daemon which sends notifications of local badges over to Fedora Badges.
Examples "Installed Fedora 29!", "KDE User", "Updater Level 1"
2) Badge sets Goal: Encourage deeper levels of Fedora engagement
Have a set with five badges, when all badges are earned, you unlock a set badge. This can encourage people to do specific behaviors that we want them to do (or need more help doing).
2A) Swag rewards for badge sets
Complete this badge set, get a Fedora Badger shirt. Or whatever.

Hi Tom, thanks for sharing this feedback on the list. This feedback was directly used when planning the upcoming Badges FAD.
- User badges

Some of these are likely very far away even now, but I read one way to accomplish this goal is to integrate Badges into more of the fast-moving, exciting places where Fedora is innovating.
This idea is related to this goal we identified for the FAD:

- Badge sets
Goal: Encourage deeper levels of Fedora engagement

This functionality has existed for some years already in Badges, but there is no documentation to explain how it works or how to set up new badges (even for admins). It would be nice to finally get documentation around this written. It could fit into this goal we identified for our FAD:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Badges_2019#New_documentation_for_on-boar...
2A) Swag rewards for badge sets

Admittedly, this did not make it into the FAD proposal. But if we manage to get someone like Matthew or Brian in the room, this would be a great side conversation to have too.

I think pulling in the folks from join would be helpful here.
