JFF Plugfest 2 Registration is Open - Links & Info

Hello all,

Yesterday, registration for the JFF VC-EDU Plugfest 2 opened! The purpose of this event is to issue W3C Verifiable Credentials in the Open Badges v3 format and Decentralized Identifiers to wallets using protocols that are popular in the education and workforce ecosystem.

You can learn more about the Plugfest here including important dates & FAQs: https://w3c-ccg.github.io/vc-ed/plugfest-2-2022/ <https://w3c-ccg.github.io/vc-ed/plugfest-2-2022/>

It’s suggested that you bookmark this resource because it's where the plugfest team will provide updates (in addition to this mail list).

Good luck with your projects. We can’t wait to see them in action!
