Teams get their own roster page, members can join or start teams without admin approval, and teams can invite people directly. Teams can be linked to a badge (admin-approved to prevent abuse) so all members automatically receive it, and future badge earners are auto-added to the team. Badges persist for former members, who remain listed as alumni. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do teams work in the openSUSE Kudos recognition platform? Kudos now lets contributors thank entire teams instead of only named individuals. Teams appear alongside people in the recipient picker and can be combined with individual shoutouts in one kudo. Every team has a roster page, members can join or start a team without admin approval, and unanswered join requests auto-approve after 14 days since teams have no owner or manager role. _Track how open source projects evolve their contributor tools by following opensuse coverage on daily.dev._ ### How do badges get linked to teams in openSUSE Kudos? Linking a badge to a team requires admin approval, unlike joining or creating a team which needs none. This prevents a new team from claiming an existing badge, such as the Tumbleweed contributor badge, and instantly gaining hundreds of unaffiliated members. Once linked, every team member receives the badge, and anyone who later earns it elsewhere is automatically added to the team roster. _Contributors managing community badges and recognition systems can follow these governance patterns on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Hack Week Project Seeks to Launch Kudos](https://daily.dev/posts/hack-week-project-seeks-to-launch-kudos-iohhtql27) · openSUSE · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [openSUSE Kudos Recognitions for July 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/opensuse-kudos-recognitions-for-july-2026-odhl09ljr) · openSUSE · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Kudos August 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/kudos-august-2026-xmynwdgxg) · openSUSE · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Fedora Badges Revamp Project: From The Ground Up](https://daily.dev/posts/fedora-badges-revamp-project-from-the-ground-up-hcvjfw4fq) · Fedora Magazine · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#opensuse](https://daily.dev/tags/opensuse) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/kudos-now-recognizes-whole-teams-8cgkgquvn) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Kudos Now Recognizes Whole Teams","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/kudos-now-recognizes-whole-teams-8cgkgquvn","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/kudos-now-recognizes-whole-teams-8cgkgquvn"},"datePublished":"2026-09-30T08:13:24.234Z","dateModified":"2026-09-30T08:13:45.611Z","description":"The openSUSE Kudos platform added team support, letting contributors thank whole teams instead of only individuals they happen to know.
