Happy New Year to all you Future Saloners. The beginning of a year is always a good time to hold still and ask oneself: "Who am I?" In our case "Who am I online?"
As more and more of your life is captured and lived online, more and more of your professional as well as personal reputation will be derived from your online identity.
This is only a very small portion of online identity management, but reason enough to check into the current status and where this is going.
So far my knowledge of this area is very limited and this is why I invited two experts and am happy to report that they accepted the invitation to fill us in:
Paul Madsen who is vice chair of the technology chair of the Liberty Alliance (2). He was the primary author of the LIBERTY ALLIANCE PROJECT WHITE PAPER.
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.
Friday 21st of January 6-7 networking with light refreshments proudlu sponsored by SAP. From 7-9+pm presentations and panel discussion. SAP Labs North America, Building D, Room Southern Cross, 3410 Hillview Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304 [map]
Update: Forgot to link to our Ride Board. Improve your commute by sharing it with a fellow Futurist.
As always free and open to the public. More details to come soon. Spread the word.
Anyone to represent the FOAF community like Marc Canter? Seems like there are a lot of locals involved in this space, listen to the last Gilmor Gang broadcast of last year for a good intro to this topic.
