Future Salon: Who am I? Moved to Friday 28th

Considering how much your online ID is shaped by Google, I wanted to hear their part of the story to "Who am I online" too.

Fen and Paul loved the idea, the problem was only that next Friday is the annual Google Ski Weekend, so no one around to answer our questions.

This is why we moved it by a week to Friday the 28th.

Unfortunately Paul Madsen who is from the East Coast will not be here, but he found a great person to take his place. Jeff Hodges from Neustar who edits a number of the technical specs and has been active in the Liberty Alliance (2) from the start. Here a link to a LIBERTY ALLIANCE PROJECT WHITE PAPER on which Paul was the lead editor.

Fen Labalme who is one of the key developers working on the Identity Commons code will introduce his view on online identity and why it is important for you to own your own.

Google will be represented by Eric Sachs who is currently a product manager in the Consumer Web team. He is responsible for the Google Account common login system and managed the orkut.com service during its first six months of operation. (Interesting side note: It was not easy to find a page about Eric on Google and the one I found is over 2 years old :-)
