The Key Contributors Program by Directus is an exclusive, invite-only initiative designed to recognize and reward individuals who make significant contributions to the Directus community. Participants who demonstrate consistent support and involvement are offered perks such as care packages, community recognition, and professional recommendations. Active contributors can enjoy additional rewards like discounts on cloud projects, involvement in product development, and opportunities to join the Directus Core Team. For those demonstrating exceptional commitment, the program extends the possibility of becoming a Core Contributor, a role that includes financial compensation through GitHub Sponsors and participation as independent contractors in the project.
