[OpenID] IIW new focus | early bird pricing ends

[Kaliya *]

I am writing to let you all know that IIW is just 4 weeks away November 2-4
in Mountain View! http://www.internetidentityworkshop.com

Early bird pricing ends on Thursday at midnight (http://iiw11.eventbrite.com).


We listened to feedback from IIW attendees who missed the space it created
to innovate and get work done - we agree with you.  Phil Windley wrote a
post about the shift in September  during IIW-East in DC.

We can stand still and serve as a workshop for introducing newbies to
Internet identity or we can move forward as the conversation shifts to the
interesting questions that Internet identity brings up. We’re choosing the
later path. IIW can’t serve both groups effectively and ultimately we’re
rather be a smaller workshop closer to the “get your hands dirty” attitude
that has characterized IIW from the start.

With this we have articulated 6 themes for the conference:

   - The Federated Social Web
   - The Personal Data Ecosystem (Personal Data Stores, Banks, Exchanges,
   Services)
   - User-Centric Identity applied (OpenID, OAuth, XRD, SAML, InfoCards,
   etc.)
   - Vendor Relationship Management
   - Active Clients (tools in the browser and other clients)
   - Identity in the Cloud

Personally I have been quiet this summer as my father was ill for 3 months
and then passed away at the end of August. This meant I was less engaged in
this and other communities then I would have otherwise.

Wondering what IIW is like - one good place to look is at the notes from the
sessions  - http://iiw.idcommons.net/Notes_IIW10

You can see who is signed up so far on the registration page -

I am off to London today to run our first ever IIW outside of North
America.

I look forward to seeing some of you at the event.

Regards,

ps. Apologies for the cross posting it is a hazard when sharing the event
with communities with significant overlap.
