I would appreciate if the Portuguese Local Group could be place under the Local Groups section in the main forum.
As requested, here follows the information you asked:

@gsilvapt all done 
Here’s how you can award existing forum members a Portugal badge.
Thank you @Stephen! I will take a look at that and will call out some Portuguese fellows to the forums!
I am guessing the admin rights have been attributed to @rlafuente, right? That is okay, I just wanted to know that.
@gsilvapt actually @Stephen had not added any group owners yet but i’ve just made you and @rlafuente group admins so you can now award membership.
Ah, okay. Thank you very much then!
Edit: It is working now, I can assign members to the Portuguese group. However, it seems I don’t have access to the badge. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to change any setting in the preferences menu?
This is correct. Obviously, it would be better for the badges to be awarded immediately. I have a suspicion that the SQL query could be adjusted to allow for that. Open to suggestions!
@gsilvapt it doesn’t look like anyone was added to the group okpt 
Haha, yes, I have seen that. Thanks!

Even though I am no SQL expert, I don’t mind adding that to my to-do list and see if I can search for something about it.
It seems immediate awarding wasn’t around in July 2014…
Searched meta.discourse.org and there is a wiki post about badges that you may be interested in.
The triggers to award a badge in the Badge Admin panel are…
So, if adding a member to a group using Open Knowledge Forums counts as a When a user is edited or created trigger, then badges may be able to be awarded immediately.
@gsilvapt I will experiment with your user and a new test group, oktest, and badge to see if this works. Let’s hope you get a new badge.
Sure thing, go ahead! Thanks for testing! Let me know if it works in the end 
OK getting closer…
oktest group.Immediate badge
oktestImmediate badge
oktest (@danfowler and @Stephen) not awarded a badge.
EDIT: @Stephen just awarded a badge. Dan not yet. Maybe it just takes a little while to execute.
EDIT 2: And Dan now has a badge 
@danfowler @rufuspollock how would you like to progress with this new capability?
Will remove @gsilvapt from group using Open Knowledge Forums to test if daily revocation works.
Extra information and SQL from Automatically grant a badge for all members of a group - #14 - admins - Discourse Meta
Implemented this query for group/badge combos:
and is working:
So what doesn’t seem to be working is automatically assigning membership to an OK Local group based on a user assigning a country in their profile. @danfowler @nealbastek is that something that can be done or have we run down that path already?
Edit: batch seemed to run around 11pm Brisbane Australia time.
I am sorry I cannot help that much guys!
Also, I did a small edit in the first message that I would like to implemente in the group’s description. Thanks!
Oh, sorry! you’re absolutely right!
