The first quarter of the year is over, and it is time to calculate the results of the Q1 2018 Magento Partners Contribution Reward Program.
This is the third quarter since the program started, and by now 50 partners have joined the effort to collaborate on Magento 2 core, including 8 firms who signed up and started to submit various fixes and improvements in this quarter. The total number of merged code contributions in Q1 2018 is 156, most of which were focused on Magento Open Source and the Multi-Source Inventory special project. Participants have shown interest in fixing issues and improving overall coding standards.
The scoring criteria for pull requests remains the same:
