I've forked Andrew Hayward's Badge Studio from our Mozilla days. Stripped out the branding, updated the codebase, added a randomise button.

It's a simple browser-based tool for generating badge images in PNG + SVG. Free to use, free to fork!

Instead of static badge images, what if we used SVG radar charts as living views over Open Badges v3 / VC data, showing how practice is recognised across contexts and over time?

During various conversations I've had with @dajb around our open credentialing workshop, and @cogdog in relation to open education, there came a little creative idea to remix moments of informal recognition between one another.

That's how the remixable Hat Tip was born. It's purpose built to uplift a human's appreciation for another human. Something I believe is incredibly important.

Why not tip your hat to someone?

Actually, Doug did most of the work and I just said some random stuff and then it became this pretty awesome post about #FOSS #ideology #verifiablecredentials https://blog.weareopen.coop/examining-the-roots-248077d11c2b #openbadges #openrecognition #digitalcredentials
Examining the Roots - We Are Open Co-op

Did you ever consider that looking at a tree only reveals half of its story? Much like a tree’s roots, which stretch as a wide and deep as its branches, the visible aspect of technology barely…

We Are Open Co-op

Last month I and my co-workers from @weareopencoop attended the #openepic conference in vienna. unfortuanletly I caught covid and got sick the day I was supposed to give my talk.

@Bristow_69 You’ll want to look at @dajb ‘s work, as he’s well placed to talk about the history and the future of #OpenBadges and #OpenRecognition. He will probably point at more recent resources on the subject, but here is already a post from last year on “Open Badges is now on the plateau of productivity”: https://dougbelshaw.com/blog/2022/03/18/open-badges-fers/
Open Badges is now on the plateau of productivity | Open Thinkering

Today I presented on a topic I've been presenting on for around 11 years now: Open Badges. I must have given 200 presentations on the subject, to audiences that number fewer than 10 to the several hundreds.

Don't tell me that hiring isn't broken

Despite the great work being done around Open Recognition, the main use case for digital credentials remains helping people get jobs. Which means that I've spent over a decade, on and off, being forced to think about the interface between people wanting to be hired, and those who want to hire those
