Hello everyone,
I received this invitation late last month, but I have been on the road for
several weeks and didn't get it circulated to all of you. This is not the
type of thing Kantara would typically engage in. However, many of you and
your respective companies may be interested in participating in this event.
If you have not received any information previously, please see the
attached invitation. The contacts are with Gail Hodges and Lucy Yang. If
you are interested in participating, please respond to them directly. Let
me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your patience and support
of Kantara.
Kind regards,
Kay

California

Dear Kay,
We are excited to share with you the news of two upcoming community
hackathons in California in September, aimed at promoting acceptance and
usage of California’s mDL.
*We are looking for co-hosting/co-funding partners to provide critical
financial, technical, and logistical support* necessary to make the
hackathons successful and beneficial for Californian residents, businesses
and public agencies as well as the digital identity community as a
whole. The California DMV has committed to supporting the hackathons and
making the technical tooling developed for the *mDL pilot
https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/ca-dmv-wallet/* available for hackathon
participants.
Attached is a brief with further details. If Kantara is interested in
becoming a partner or have any feedback, please let us know by replying to
this email.
We look forward to having a conversation with you and answering any
questions you have.
Thanks,
Lucy Yang & Gail Hodges
Special Advisors (Identity Technologies) to the CA DMV
