So this year after the Internet Identity Workshop there is going to be the Data Sharing Summit - in between is going to be the Chi.mp Happy Hour - in honor of Decentralized User-Centric Identity.

It is FREE (if you RSVP) from 6pm to 8pm Wednesday May 14th at Temptations, 288 Castro Street, Mountain View, CA 94041

You can eat there or move on to other fine venues on Castro Street.

I have to say how personally greatful I am to be working with Tony and his team on this event.

I met Tony about 2 months ago in NYC when he came to the Identity Commons meetup that Ryan Janssen hosted with me at Angel Soft. We talked a lot about the community and the history and the future - Ken Jordan, author of the Augmented Social Network: Building Identity and Trust into the Next Generation Internet (2003 First Monday), was there too. He has been doing a great job blogging about the issues on Own Your Identity and I am excited to introduce him to the whole Identity Commons and Data Sharing Community this week.
