+## Kudos
+
+Gerrit is an open source project and its success much depends on the Gerrit
+community and the people driving it. Every day we see highly engaged and
+motivated contributors and kudos is a way for you to thank them and show your
+appreciation.
+
+Kudos is a public written thank you note of appreciation. These can be given by
+anyone to any Gerrit contributor and are public on the Gerrit homepage.
+
+Kudos can be given for doing a good job (e.g. fixing an important bug, helping
+someone resolve an issue, speaking at an event etc.) or living good citizenship
+behavior (e.g. doing lots of reviews, actively helping users on the mailing
+list, caring about releases, organizing community events, maintaining plugins
+etc.).
+
+### How to add kudos?
+
+Upload a change to the [homepage](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/admin/repos/homepage)
+project that adds the kudos to this page. If you don't know how to do this, just
+send an email to the [repo-discuss](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!pendingmsg/repo-discuss)
+mailing list that has a subject starting with '[kudos]' and a Gerrit maintainer
+will take care to upload the kudos for you.
+
+### List of kudos
+
+Note: Please add new kudos at the top of this list.
