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 latest round of 112 winners—a new record—from 33 countries! We’re also sharing some comments by Googlers about what the Open Source Peer Bonus program means to them.

“I've nominated a number of open source contributors for the Peer Bonus program. Since most people volunteer out of passion for a project and expect nothing in return, getting an email from Google thanking them for their contribution carries a lot of meaning.” — Jason Miller

The Open Source Peer Bonus program rewards open source enthusiasts for contributions across open source, including code contributions, community work, documentation, mentoring, and other types of open source contribution—if a Googler believes that someone has made a positive contribution to an open source project, that person can be nominated for an Open Source Peer Bonus.

“Open Source is core to work at Google—it's the very spirit of its community and users. The Open Source Peer Bonus represents the way we want to share the spirit with everyone who feels the same spirit and puts it into developing cool stuff out there!” — Cristina Conti

Collaboration and innovation lie at the core of open source, advancing modern technology and removing barriers. Google relies on open source for many of our products and services and we are thrilled to have an opportunity to give back to the community by rewarding open source contributors.

“I've been active in the open-source community for many years. I've often been amazed by some contributors who go out of their way to help me and others; fix bugs, implement features, provide support and do code reviews. Since I started working at Google, I've had the privilege of nominating a few of these contributors for the Open Source Peer Bonus. I'm happy to see their effort get support and recognition from the corporate world. I hope that other big tech companies follow Google's lead in this regard.” — Ram Rachum

“Developers that take the time to share their code and expertise with the larger developer community help empower us all to make better software. Android demos can help other devs get their apps working and also helps Google see gaps and room for improvements in APIs or documentation. Open-source developers are an invaluable part of the ecosystem! Thank you!” — Emilie Roberts
