invitation to IIW

[John Maloney]

Hi,

I have seen the topic of identity go by a few times on this list.
I thought I would send you all this invitation in case you want to
dive in and help shape the future of identity standards on the web.
We also talk about the social implications of all this stuff.
let me know if you have any questions.

INTERNET IDENTITY WORKSHOP
May 18-20th in Mountain View California

We lowered the price from last year until April 1 (that is in a week)
and need to get 75 folks registered by that date.
It is $50 less for independents and $75 for corporate folks - this is
then the regular price from last year.

We have a beautiful new website with all the information about the
conference.

So what do we do at IIW's? People from a diverse range of projects
dive in and get work done. Lots of different groups come together and
use the face time to sync their work with others - learn what is
happening and solve problems. You can ask the folks on this list who
have attended what they have gotten out of the event. I included a
list of projects that have people there and get work done - it is kind
of amazing.


The thing that links all the work together at this workshop is this
notion of "user-centricity" or "user-driven services". Technically how
people can manage their own identity and data and relationship
information across the range of websites, services, companies and
organizations.

We also as a community understand this is not just technical - there
are a bunch of social and legal issues that aries too and we try to
address them. For this particular conference we are going to also
focus some attention on what are business models are that can make
this ecology of web services thrive.

The heart of the workshop is a practical idealism in working towards
the shared vision of a decentralized, user-oriented identity layer for
the Internet. WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US.
