Friend of Forum One Networks,
Kaliya Hamlin, is helping organize two important events about online identity and data sharing in May.
If you are thinking about online identity issues or data portability, these sessions will be valuable.
Internet Identity Workshop -
We are going into our 6th Conference it is amazing to see this all happen. With OpenID proliferating and the next generation of tools - card selectors etc. being innovated.
May 12-14 in Mountain View California.
The Data Sharing Summit,
May 15, at the Computer History Museum.
There is a lot of activity in this space - with the buzz around DataPortability.org (who we are collaborating with). Our first event in this space was in September 2007. Our purpose is to provide gathering spaces in which all parties interested in working on the challenge of data sharing can work together. We create the agenda the day it happens. It is about getting things done and figuring out the tough problems – there is no committee deciding who does or does not get to 'present' it is about breaking up and really diving in figuring out the solutions and building the consensus to get adoption.
