Coaching moment: Being curious is great because it generally leads to learning new things. Learning can sometimes be overwhelming. If we stick with our curiosity and ask questions, we learn more. Learning, thinking, and processing new ideas are valuable life skills, and will be extremely useful as our technology-enriched world develops and affects our social, political, and economic lives.

This conference, the 8th one, was a meeting of coders and technologists, facilitators and educators, newbies and experts. If you’re checking this blog and these videos out for the first time, there may well be ideas that you may not have heard of before. Consider yourself ahead of the curve for visiting and wanting to learn more.

Update: I also did a brief (5 minute) Conference Report on the IIW.

The future is selector-based

May 19th, 2009

Yesterday was my first of three days at the identity Commons’ Internet Identity Workshop. I posted about this workshop earlier, and how I was excited to be attending. Now that I’m here, the conversations and technology are more fascinating, and the people way more engaging than I indicated in my earlier post. You can get a remote taste of the conversations by checking the twitter stream while its available.

card selectorOne of the sessions I attended was about the Information Card and various selector software. I’ll be looking at these in a future post. For now, think of information cards as the digital equivalent to the membership, identity (e.g., driver’s license, health care card, etc.) and credit cards in your wallet. Think of the selector software as your digital wallet, but with some smarts to suggest cards that have the appropriate credentials.

Coaching moment: You have a wallet, and likely there are many cards inside. The idea is that a digital wallet is portable, and pictures of various cards might work easily for people that don’t want to know any more about identity than which card is the right one to use. We do that every day anyway. What if that were easier, and more secure? Might you be interested in this?

Internet Identity Workshop in May!

May 4th, 2009

Internet Identity Workshop logo The spring Internet Identity Workshop is coming up in a couple of weeks, May 18-20. The organizers have extended regular registration prices for another week! If you are interested in Identity, and especially if you are working on developing identity-related technologies or services, membership web sites, or even if you’re just curious about what’s going on in this quickly evolving field, I invite you to join me at this event.

The conference is in Mountain View, between San Francisco and San Jose (do you know the way?). It’s organized as an unconference, which means the sessions are proposed until we get there. All sessions are decided by the participants on the days of the event. That way we all have an equal voice in learning, exploring, and teaching.

The conference ranges from the highly technical geeks and professionals to the interested and curious “newbies.” There will be demos on the last day, and plenty of people to ask questions of. This is a unique and still relatively small group, so the signal to noise is wonderful.

There is a lot to learn, and these are the folks you want to talk with. I encourage you to register today, and look forward to seeing you there!
