On to the next verification source: #IBMChampions can now also use verifiedbsky.net to get a verification badge! See for example how @richard.fichtner.dev has used it below 😊

On to the next one! @colorcloudrocks.bsky.social speakers can now also verify, get a nice badge for their profile and appear on the corresponding list bsky.app/profile/veri... and starter pack bsky.app/starter-pack...

And we are a) back online (thanks to the amazing @fermyon.com team for an incredibly fast bugfix and release) and b) happy to share a new feature: Cloud Technology Townhall Tallinn (cloudtechtallinn.com) speakers can now verify themselves as well! If you run a conference and want the same, reach out

Something's coming soon...

We made it to 500 verified profiles! Thanks to all of you who went through the process 🎉

With the latest release, Oracle ACEs (@oracleace.bsky.social) can now be verified 😊 If you are an ACE and verification doesn't work for you, please let me know or file an issue on github.com/tfenster/ver...

You are now the first verified Oracle ACE 😊

To all the CNCF Ambassadors out there: You can now self-verify on verified-bluesky-rpu7w3bv.fermyon.app as well! Go to the website and follow the instructions to get verified and if you want to see the labels, go to @verifiedsky.bsky.social and subscribe to the labeler (and like it 😊)

That is just the technical name you see. Everyone else sees this:

And the next step: @github.com Stars can now also verify themselves on verified-bluesky-rpu7w3bv.fermyon.app! Thanks to @santoshyadav.dev for the help and @eliostruyf.com for testing 😊 (By chance, both are Microsoft MVPs as well, but that is of course not required)

Next step for this little verification project: Labels on profiles and posts! Subscribe to the labeler on this account to see them, get verified via verified-bluesky-rpu7w3bv.fermyon.app to get them on your account. To understand how labels work on @bsky.app, check docs.bsky.app/docs/advance...
