Recognize Contributors

July 23, 2025 ยท View on GitHub

We do our best to recognize every contribution to the project. We do it individually in every repository from the AsyncAPI GitHub organization.

There should always be a Contributors section in the readme, like this one. We use All Contributors specification to handle recognitions.

Remember, not only code matters! You can contribute to AsyncAPI in different ways. You can:

  • Report a well-written issue that explains a bug or a feature that later is fixed/implemented.
  • Share with us feedback on slack or some other channel. You come up with the idea that we used to do something great with the project.
  • Improve documentation.
  • Help with a review of pull requests. You are a language expert and can review docs or an expert in a specific programming language. As a result, you can review pull requests for a template written for a particular language.
  • Write a blog post on the AsyncAPI blog.
  • Answer to questions under issues or in Slack

You can help us out in many different ways. Just check out this list of possible contributions. All of this is a contribution!

We apologize in advance if we failed in recognizing your work. Feel free to contact us on slack, and we will fix it immediately, or talk to All Contributors bot directly.

All Contributors cheat sheet

To recognize work, after it is done, in closed issue or pull request, add a proper comment. The comment must look like this:

@all-contributors please add @{GITHUB_USERNAME} for {EMOJI_KEY}.
