Weekly Notes 29/2022
Weekly Notes are meant to be weekly updates which I wouldn’t cover in a regular blog post. I will probably post them on Fridays. The title has the week number in that year.
How to Create and Issue Open Badges
Badges are ubiquitous on the web. Any website that has some social component has badges. Audible gives you badges based on your listening. StackOverFlow gives you badges based on your participation etc. The problem with these badges is that they are not portable and not verifiable. For example, if you are on a site where you want to show or prove the badge that you have acquired on StackOverFlow, then it’s not possible. OpenBadge solves this.
Live chart showing IDVC Prices
I have added live charts to the IDVC ( Idly Dose Vada Coffee Price) project page. It’s the current year’s stats.
Updates : NMG + GSUS Grant 2022
We have the top ten decided, so we have to do a final round to pick the top two or three. It is possible to do it this month. So the date for the announcement of grantees is July 31st. I am as excited as you are.
Introducing IDVC Survey
Bangalore Darshinis are a class apart. They provide very affordable, clean, accessible food throughout the day. I have not seen this in many other cities. Most of the darshinis have the same or somewhat similar menu. They all have idli, vada (vada), dose(dosa), and coffee. So I figured to see if the city is affordable, the measure of these would be a good indicator, like an IDVC Index. Latte Index somewhat inspires me.
