Hey guys - what is everyone's thoughts about announcing the group and
the agenda to the world.

I think we can get a few more members in and then we can each take a
turn at mentioning it on our blogs - I know Marshall from RWW is keen
to write about it. Same with Rizzn from Mashable. I am sure Duncan
from Techcrunch would be happy to also.

Let me know if you would like to volunteer any particularly relevant
members and then we can get the ball rolling on the initial
announcement.

Cheers,

Chris

Do you have the agenda written down somewhere?

Good question Chris,
 
I am thinking it would springboard from the text on the front page:
 
Standardized Data Portability is the next great frontier for the web. As users, our identity, photos, videos and other forms of personal data should be discoverable by, and shared between our chosen tools or vendors. We need a DHCP for Identity. A distributed File System for data. This page will list the standards and contributors who are making it happen.
 
The Data Portability Workgroup is working towards creating, maintaining and evangelizing an set of open standards and protocols for data interchange and a reference design for a distributed data discovery, import, export and sync.
 
The result will allow users to take their personal social network with them wherever they go.

How's that? Any suggested changes/ideas?
 
Chris

Refined further:

Standardized Data Portability is the next great frontier for the web.
As users, our identity, photos, videos and other forms of personal
data should be discoverable by, and shared between our chosen tools or
vendors. We need a "DHCP" for Identity. A distributed File System for
data. This page will list the standards and contributors who are
making it happen.

The Data Portability Workgroup is working towards choosing,
contextualizing and evangelizing a set of open standards and protocols
for data interchange and a reference design for a distributed data
discovery, import, export and sync.

Chris, looking at this again, I don't know why it is too grandiose? It
is fairly concrete.

We want a standard/accepted way of identity discovery, import, export
and sync using open standards. :)

What would you suggest that might be better contained and executed?

Cheers,

Chris

Actually, let's use that: "We want open and non-proprietary formats,
methods and protocols for identity discovery, data import and export
towards sovereignty over the content and media that we create and the
profiles and relationships that we maintain."

It doesn't get much more concise than that. And I think even people
who aren't following this space can understand what you're saying.

Sometimes, less arm-waving is a good thing.
