Requirements
The following areas will be reviewed to determine if the candidate meets the minimum requirements for the nomination and application process. The minimum requirements are based on the number of contributions in the five areas listed below and the validity and quality of these activities:
Questions Helped
Our community members are very active in the forum space and Slack channels. Everyone is always helping each other when they have a question.
We value the quality of the answers and the help that our community provides to each other. This is one of the basic contributions we expect from our OMVPs.
Publications
We have a lot of bloggers in our community, and their blogs are always very insightful and useful to the community.
Blogging, of course, is just one of the many formats we count as a publication when sharing content. You can also share your knowledge in the form of podcasts, how-to guides, videos, and more.
Presentations
We have many events (both in-person and virtual) and we are always looking for speakers.
As long as the topics you are presenting on are about Optimizely products, a non-Optimizely affiliated event can still count towards this category (proof of presentation will be required).
Optimizely Programs
We have official programs that are offered to help educate people on using Optimizely products as well as programs that are for subject matter experts to help with preparing those materials.
You can help enhance the Optimizely community by getting involved with the Masterclasses program and the Subject Matter Experts program.
Others
There could be other ways of contributing to the community that we did not cover in the areas listed above. We will take special considerations for these forms of contributions on a case-by-case basis.
Some examples of these are (not limited to):
- Creating Add-ons/Plugins for Optimizely products
- Collaborating on projects with Optimizely
- Submitting and helping with bug reports
- External conferences or events that are not Optimizely affiliated
Rank/Tier
The ranking system is designed to recognize the contributions of our OMVPs and acknowledge those who are leading the community.
Silver/Gold/Platinum
We understand that individuals will have different levels of engagement. We want to help distinguish those who show an exemplary level of contributions to the community. Below, you will see the three different tiers within the OMVP program used to recognize these levels of effort.
Silver
Your contribution level in the community is at the level expected to become an OMVP. We look forward to seeing more contributions from you in the future.
Gold
Your contribution level in the community is beyond expected. We look forward to seeing how you can grow to become one of the leaders in the OMVP program.
Platinum
Your contribution level in the community is outstanding. You are an elite and we look forward to seeing how you continue to lead the community.
Application and Nomination
The application and nomination forms are open year-round and will be reviewed twice a year. The first cut-off is January 31st and the second is July 31st. If you miss a deadline, don't worry, your submission will be reviewed during the following review period.
