= | == Goals == | ||
Several teams within Mozilla want to or already issuing Open Badges, including those involved in the new Mozilla Developer Program (MDP). Tech Evangelism has a specific Q4 2013 goal of implementing a Marketplace badge around Firefox OS submissions. | |||
* | |||
** | Presently, badges.mozilla.org is the most obvious place from which to issue badges. However, the following requirements need to be addressed before proceeding with that as the issuing platform for Marketplace and other MDP properties: | ||
* Identified owner who can guarenteed an acceptable level of uptime and maintenance work. | |||
* Updated look and feel to match that of other top-priority MDP websites like Marketplace and MDN. | |||
* UX needs to address the fact that there are relatively few requirements for issuing badges from this site, other than being a registered Mozilla. Badges currently issued from there represent a mix of all community badges, which might confuse the value and purpose of MDP-issued badges. | |||
Overall, we want to rollout badges on Marketplace and other MDP properties in a timely fashion, but also have a guarantee of stability and good user experience. | |||

We are still in the process of identifying participating teams. The following is a tentative list: | We are still in the process of identifying participating teams. The following is a tentative list: | ||

'''Updated: 5 November 2013''' | |||
== Overview == | |||
Open Badges are a way to recognize and incentivize achievement and learning. Currently, the Open Badges initiative is lead by an Open Badges team at MoFo. Developers within MoCo have also contributed early efforts towards Open Badge support. | |||
There is a detailed specification/standard being developed for Open Badges. This spec includes: | |||
* '''Issuers''': Entities that created, administer and issue badges to individuals | |||
* '''Displayers''': Entities that display (and possibly authenticate or validate) earned by individuals | |||
* '''Badges''': Objects that signify some kind of achievement by an individual. Badges can be signed or not. | |||
The Open Badge specification is still in development, although many organizations are actively issuing them. | |||
The scope of work the MoFo Open Badges team is doing includes: | |||
* development of a specification | |||
* progress on the Open Badges initiative (working with educational bodies to develop and adopt Open Badges) | |||
* development of a reference platform | |||
