The Red Hat Learning Community Ambassador badges are live on Credly and ready to share

A quick update for everyone who was selected as a 2025 Red Hat Learning Community Ambassador. Your official Credly digital badges have now been issued.

You should see an email from Credly in your inbox inviting you to accept your badge. Once you claim it, you can add it to your LinkedIn profile, CV, personal site, or anywhere you share your open source journey.

What the Ambassador badge represents

This badge is more than a logo. It is a verified signal that you:

  • Help others learn by answering questions and sharing your experience
  • Contribute posts, guides, labs, or insights that others rely on
  • Show up regularly in discussions and keep conversations moving
  • Support the open source mindset that the Red Hat Learning Community is built on

Thank you for setting the tone for what a supportive, skill-building community can look like.

How to claim and share your badge

  1. Check the email account linked to your Red Hat Learning Community profile for an invite from Credly.
  2. Follow the link in the email to create or sign in to your Credly account.
  3. Accept your Red Hat Learning Community Ambassador badge.
  4. Use the built in options to share it on LinkedIn and other platforms.

If you do not see the email, check your spam or promotions folder first. 

Want to be part of the next Ambassador group

You do not need to apply for the program. Ambassadors are selected based on real activity in the community. If you would like to be considered in the next round, the best things you can do are:

  • Answer questions in the boards you know well
  • Share what you learn from labs, courses, and real projects
  • Join Linux challenges, AMAs, and topic discussions
  • Welcome new members and point them to helpful resources

Every helpful answer and every clear explanation can be the moment someone passes an exam, fixes a production issue, or chooses to stay in the open source world. That is the impact we look for.

If you did not get a badge this time, you can start building your impact today and be on the radar for 2026.

About the Author
I first touched a PC in 1984. I really got hooked when I saw that I could actually send messages to another computer by connecting to the telephone line via this device called a modem. This truly fascinated me. My next fascination was writing programs, using a language called "Basic". I'm sure one of the reasons I was so fascinated with writing programs on the PC was because the only programming I had done was using Fortran, via the keypunch machine, and submitting a stack of cards to the batch operator. My how the technology has advanced since then. I don't recall the year I began my journey with UNIX, but I do recall that it was on an AT&T 3B15 minicomputer. All I ever saw was a dumb (kinda like me about UNIX at the time) terminal. From there, I graduated to Sun Microsystems offerings of UNIX - SunOS and Solaris. Yeah, I was a certified SCSA and SCNA. I worked hard for those certifications. I was so proud. I carried the flag for Sun back then, like I carry the flag for Red Hat now. I've also used IBM's AIX brand of UNIX, and HP's HP-UX brand of UNIX. I don't recall the first Linux I got my hands on, nor am I sure of the year I took the plunge. I do have some CDs with Red Hat Linux 4 on them. Well, I've always been one to hitch my wagon to the leader of a particular technology. In the world of Linux, I think it's safe to say that Red Hat is the undisputed king of that world. When Red Hat introduced their Red Hat Academy, I made a mad dash to get on board. However, the cost was just a little bit prohibitive for my institution's budget. Still, I never took my eye off of using Red Hat Linux, or becoming a Red Hat Academy. When I discovered that the cost to become a Red Hat Academy had been removed, I went into high gear to establish the partnership. I've been proudly associated with the Red Hat Academy now for...I forget. One thing I haven't forgotten, is that I'm a self-appointed, self-anointed evangelist for this program. The learning opportunities, along with the support the Red Hat Academy provides to students and instructors is exceptional!
