Comment (by iandunn):

 WordCamp organizers don't have a separate badge, they're just considered
 part of the Community team, so those badges should link to the Community
 team.

 WordCamp speakers are less clear, though. Should they link to the
 Community team? WordCamp Central? WPTV?

 What about Plugin/Theme developers? Should they link to the "about" page
 for the respective repositories? The home page for the respective
 repositories?The plugins/themes tab on their profile?

 Maybe it'd help to identify the reasons '''why''' a user would click on a
 badge. Do they want to know what the badge means? How they can get it?
 Something else?

 Personally, I'm leaning towards speaker badges linking to the Community
 team and plugin/theme badges linking to the "about" page for the
 respective repositories, but I can see good arguments for other
 conclusions, too. What does everyone else think?
