# Recognizing Contributors
The project looks to recognize and thank contributors for their contributions
as one of the ways we can help them continue to contribute to the project.
This document captures some of the processes we have in place to do that.
Some of the benefits we hope to achieve through these programs include:
* Ensuring people know that the project appreciates their work
* Encouraging people to repeat/grow their contributions
* Helping people demonstrate to their managers the value of the
contributions they are making, which in terms helps their manager support
their employer investing in the project (unfortunately this is
something that matters)
* Highlighting the new features in Node.js and showing that they are
being added by individuals like those mentioned. This should encourage
other people to get involved and make similar contributions.
* Highlighting those leading efforts/initiatives and they are being
done by individuals or teams like those mentioned. This should
encourage other people to get involved and make similar contributions
## Sponsorship link on nodejs/node README.md
Collaborators may add a single link beside their name on the nodejs/node
[`README.md`](../../README.md) file in the section titled `Collaborators`
named `Support me`. This link may be:
1. a direct link to one of the sponsorship platforms listed below,
2. a page that has text explaining how to support the collaborator
including zero or more links to the sponsorship platforms listed below.
The page should not have any outgoing links other than to the
sponsorship platforms. We expect and trust collaborators to ensure that
the text is professional and respectful.
The sponsorship platforms to which links can be made currently
includes (in alphabetical order):
* [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors)
* [Polar](https://polar.sh/)
* [thanks.dev](https://thanks.dev)
## Amplification of posts announcing talks by collaborators
When a collaborator is speaking at a public event they may request amplification
by the Node.js social media accounts. They can request that a post highlighting
that they are speaking at the event be amplified by the Node.js accounts by
making a request in the #nodejs-social channel in the OpenJS Foundation slack.
We trust that collaborators will only request amplification when they believe
the event is relevant to the Node.js community and the content of the post is
in line with the norms of the project.
