* '''Alpha''' - The alpha version of the infrastructure, built for P2PU as the initial issuer will be launched in late July 2011. The alpha will include user account creation, a simple Backpack interface, minimum verification and P2PU issuer tech. All badges earned from the P2PU School of Webcraft Assessment and Badge Pilot will be pushed into the alpha infrastructure with support for displaying across personal sites and the P2PU profile.

* '''Beta''' - The beta version of the infrastructure will be launched early September 2011. The beta will be a fully functioning (critical feature) infrastructure, including all Backpack technology, launched with an initial set of partners. We are doing a closed beta launch to work closely with an initial group of issuers to fine tune the technology and ensure that we will have data and experience to evaluate the infrastructure.
* '''Beta1''' - The first beta version of the infrastructure will be launched early September 2011. The beta will be a fully functioning (critical feature) infrastructure, including all Backpack technology. Initial issuers will plug in over the few months following the launch. We are doing a closed beta launch to work closely with an initial group of issuers to fine tune the technology and ensure that we will have data and experience to evaluate the infrastructure.
* '''Beta2''' - The next wave of beta will include more features including the Displayer API and will be launched in October 2011.
* '''1.0 Public Spec''' - In January 2012 we will release the 1.0 version of the Open Badge Infrastructure with all necessary supporting documentation and tools to make it self-service
