The Decentralized IDentifier (DID) spec, originally incubated at #RebootingWebOfTrust has been nurtured for the last few years in the W3C Credentials CG, and is now on way to be run as by an official W3C Working Group to become an international standard: w3c-ccg.github.io/did-spec/

New BC Gov open source project to implement an OpenIDConnect Identity Provider using Verifiable Credentials. Hyperledger Aries are the underlying messaging and Indy for VC exchange mechanism. github.com/bcgov/vc-authn-oi… Join us! #hyperledgerindy #hyperledgeraries
Teaching an Aries/Indy course last week led to new demos from the team and a new "From 0 to Coding Aries Apps" doc set. Check it out, and let us know what you think. It's easier than you think! github.com/hyperledger/aries… #hyperledegerindy #hyperledgeraries #sovrin

Being government-issued doesn't mean centralized, or a single system. It can be centralized, federated, or decentralized. If you think of government as an anchor, not as an administrator, many options begin to open up. – at Ottawa, Ontario

Hard to believe that my time at @TBS_Canada has come to an end. 12 years of great experiences working with amazing people on CLF, Web Standards, @WebExpToolkit, Web Renewal, OneGC, AIA and many other great initiatives. Excited to start my next chapter on Monday with @ISED_CA!

Looking forward to following up with my GC colleagues to discuss what we learned in Toronto and possible next steps re cloud-based contact centre tools. #GCdigital
Another interesting day w/ cloud-based contact centre tools. My colleagues had some pretty creative voice-based experiments. My border wait times experiment was too ambitious for 1 day but I did manage a basic text-based chatbot. #GCdigital

Interesting day learning about what is possible with cloud-based contact/call centre tools. Tomorrow we get creative and see what we can build in one day with these tools. #GCdigital

When you think about working in technology for the #GC, what comes to mind? Dusty server rooms? Programmers in flip-flops? In fact, there’s much, much more. #GCDigital. It’s way more than a back office function. Find out more 👇
