Крис Мессина был одним из тех кто придумал формат баркемп в том виде,
в каком мы его знаем (включая логотип и название, Тим Орейли придумал
FooCamp, Крис и Ко - BarCamp - http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2005/08/13/bar-the-alternative-to-foo/).
Он также является активным пропагандистом Open Web, OpenId и других
открытых форматов. Мы пригласили Криса выступить в Петербурге в
институте ИТМО с темой Identity is a Platform. А также рассказать,
зачем и как они создавали баркемп-движение!
Hello Russia! Hello St.Petersburg!
I am Chris Messina. I live in San Francisco and in Oct 12 I will hold
a Talk in St.Peterburg University of Information Technologies,
mechanics and Optics (SPb GU ITMO).
Social platforms like Facebook and Twitter's have received a lot press
as potential <<game changers.>> They are inching the web away from a
document-centric model -- where the primary activities are searching
and information retrieval from vast databases -- to one that is more
engaging and people-centric.
The document-centric model of the web has driven massive value to the
Googles and Microsofts, and yet they continue to expect more of the
same. But the web is becoming social, and the same rules do not apply.
On the social web, value is driven to individualsfrom their extensions
into the network --where identity is the platform -- and the popularity
of technologies like OpenID and Facebook Connect bear this out.
In this talk, I will discuss the trends and technologies driving this
shift, and the potential of the people-centric model for companies,
products, and individuals.
