The Google Open Source Peer Bonus program is designed to reward external open source contributors nominated by Googlers for their exceptional contributions to open source. We are very excited to announce our first group of winners in 2021!
Our current winners have contributed to a wide range of projects including Apache Beam, Kubernetes, Tekton and many others. We reward open source enthusiasts not only for their code contributions, but also community work, documentation, mentorships and other types of engagement.
We have award recipients from 25 countries all over the world: Austria, Canada, China, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Isle of Man, Italy, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Uganda, Taiwan, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and the United States.
Open source encourages innovation through collaboration and our modern world, and technology that we rely on, wouldn’t be the same without you—the contributors, who are in many cases volunteers. We would like to thank you for your hard work and congratulate you on receiving this award!
