I am writing this post for all of you coming here after reading the Fast Company article listing the (13) Most Influential Women in Web 2.0. Here is my slide in the deck where you can see the picture Bob took in full glory.

Just to be clear I am part of more then the OpenID community
I facilitate The Internet Identity Workshop that I co-founded and co-produce with Phil Windley and Doc Searls. It has an amazing range of technologies participating - see below for the list.

I am involved with the whole community working on the identity layer of the web that works for people. OpenID is simply the most visible part in relation to "web 2.0" right now. I am very optimistic about the future of information card technology and the potential for claims based identity to really transform the web.

I am actively involved in Identity Commons (where I got started in Identity in 2004) and it is where you can find a bunch of groups working on a range of social legal and technical issues in this field. Let me know if you want to get involved.

The Internet Identity Workshop is actually happening NEXT WEEK in Mountain View and there is still room - so feel free to sign up if you want to dive in.
