The Sovrin\Indy\DID Architecture and Ecosystem -DRAFT
// Will gather here all resources that specifically relate to Sovrin, and Indy. Gradually this file will grow with Sovrin related material. While 'awesome-decentralized-id' will be gradually thinned out, or actually it seems like that one should be more expansive, and this one more specific.. Whatever the case may be, just working out which proportions of what should be where.

Self Sovereign Identity^
Internet Identity Workshop is where the quest for concious, user-centric, identity began. Rebooting Web-of-Trust Workshops sprung from the IIW, focused on creating standards for decentralized identifiers, along with decentralized key managment\PKI. The United Nations 'Sustainable Development Goals' among which is for all the world to have access to a digital identity by 2020. The UN SDGs, blockchain, and the GDPR converged bringing much energy into the identity ecosystem. Additional history and background information may be found at awesome-decentralized-id.
Christopher Allen[T][git] details the overarching history of internet idenitity standards in his seminal work:

Evernym is opening its Accelerator program to Non Profit Organization (NPOs) applications. Evernym will waive the $50,000 membership fee it normally charges to participate in the program. A panel of judges will select the successful applicants. The first group of awards will be announced before December 2018 and will include 5 organizations. Further NPO cohorts are already planned for 2019.

DID Adoption ^
- @ChristopherA on DID adoption
"22/ Over a dozen companies and organizations, using multiple blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Hyperledger, etc.), have committed to deploying DIDs, including IBM, Microsoft, Digital Bazaar, Consensys, Evernym, Learning Machine, British Columbia, and more:" —How blockchain could solve the internet privacy problem
- Veres One DID Method 1.0 — a permissionless public ledger designed specifically for the creation and management of decentralized identifiers (DIDs)
- Blockstack DID Spec[*]
- Spidchain [wp]
- "offers a platform for self-sovereign identity, including desktop and mobile apps for end-users. It uses Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) - backed by optionally Bitcoin or Ethereum - to implement a marketplace for verifiable claims. The Spidchain applications allow individuals to create, recover, and revoke DIDs, to authenticate, to sign and verify files and claims, and more."
