[Air-L] Call for Participation: IR14 Preconf on Microcredentials

[Alexander Halavais]

Hello, All,

This would be a very late reminder of a deadline today for the
workshop, but instead it is an announcement (to avoid confusion) that
the application materials for the microcredentials and reputation
pre-conference workshop will be extended and we will be accepting
people on a rolling basis up to the August 1 earlybird deadline.

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to drop me a note.

Best,

Alex
