let us be open to other ways of interoperability ..

[Ajit Jaokar]

Greetings!

I observe this thread with interest ..

How shall I put it in one sentence: The open web group should be more
open to new ideas :)

It seems that feedback to John is: Our way is the 'right' way to do
interoperability(OpenID, OpenSocial, OAuth etc etc )

Being the 'open' web group - we should recognise that the semantic web
approach is a valid approach even if it may be different from what
many in this group advocate.

I just wanted to put that point across i.e. it seems that the
'corporate' presence John must incoporporate should be consistent with
what the group believes

That cannot be right :)

For the record, I have spoken at events in Galway and found them great
and as so is the work John's team have been doing over the years

kind rgds

Hey Ajit,

Please don't take my comments as those of the Open Web Foundation, I actually think that this list is a bit of a funny place to be having this conversation. :)

It's not that I'm not open to new technologies, quite the opposite.  Rather I was trying to help illustrate why there have been so many breakdowns in communication and style over the past 24-hours in this thread.  And yes, it is reasonable to look at which technologies are being deployed given the context of this conference.
