Every release of Chef we pick someone from the community to name as the Most Valuable Player for that release. It could be someone who provided a big feature, reported a security vulnerability, or someone doing great things in the community that we want to highlight.
In addition to the Hall of Fame and MVP recipients, a number of individuals are awarded the distinction of "Awesome Community Chef" each year at ChefConf.
The Lifetime Community Chef Award is a recognition of years of investment by a member of the community, and is awarded only occasionally.
Each year at ChefConf, a number of individuals are awarded the Awesome Community Chef award. The Awesome Community Chef awards are a way for the community to recognize a few of the individuals who have made a dramatic impact and have helped further the cause.
Full list is also available at https://www.awesomechefawards.com/ as well.
After receiving three MVP awards, we add someone to the hall of fame. We want to express our gratitude to their continuing participation and give newer community members the opportunity to be recognized.
