Hi Pumpers,

I work for Mozilla, spending a lot of time on the Open Badges project.
A few months ago, at the Detroit Maker Faire, badges were issued
through Badg.us, a side project of another Mozillian, Les Orchard.
Badg.us is a simple to use badge issuing platform that's getting a
fair amount of traction in the larger maker community. There's rumors
that the Maker Faire governing body might start using Badg.us more
formally, it's just a rumor, but seems like there's some real
potential there.

Badg.us has a list of things they'd like to accomplish on the
platform, but not enough developers to get it all done. If you're a
Python / Django developer, and want to spend some time hacking on a
project that could have a real impact in the Maker world, feel free to
contact me offline, so I can put you in touch with the folks in
charge.  If you'd rather just jump in, the code is up on Github,
https://github.com/lmorchard/badg.us

Stuff they want to accomplish is tracked in Github issues.

Thanks,
Chris
