DESCRIPTION:Digital badges promise portable\, verifiable recognition\, but 
 in practice\, they’re locked behind proprietary platforms\, expensive su
 bscriptions\, and rigid workflows. For many nonprofits and open communitie
 s\, that makes them unusable.\n\nBadgeFed rethinks digital credentials for
  the open web. Built on the Open Badges standard and the ActivityPub proto
 col\, it brings badge issuance\, sharing\, and verification into the Fediv
 erse\, fully open source\, self-hostable\, and designed to run on Linux.\n
 \nThis talk explores how federated social infrastructure can replace centr
 alized credential platform and build sustainable recognition systems witho
 ut vendor lock-in.
