Saving the World with User-centric Identity.

viva data liberation @ Net Squared today

I am connecting up to the social change and technology part of my persona today at Net Squared. Tomorrow I am going to be leading a session on identity in the 'making it happen' part of the conference.

The opening session mentioned the emergence of the Social Web - I was like wow - we have been using that to describe what happens when identity becomes part of the web.

At the conference
Seven sectors are participating:

  • Philanthropists
  • International NGO
  • American Nonprofits
  • Infratech - the big companies
  • Web Services companies
  • Digerati
  • Nonprofit Technology Assitance Providers the "Helper community"
  • The opening speaker is Angela Glover CEO of Policy Link - Black Woman for the opening keynote. Well it is certainly out of the norm of regular tech conferences - Hopefully the rest will be out of the box too.

    She began by talking about the regional context. The economy setting the stage for opportunity - not just income support and raising minimum wage but how to build wealth and assets. Technology is how we achieve what we want to achieve - in light of need for democratic participation.

    She did call it two point zero...maybe that is not under Tim's Trademark.

    (almost) Direct quote from Angela Glover - We need to liberate Data - structured DATA SHARING.

  • I was so excited when I heard this - I wrote and ad hoc banner for the table
  • Viva - data liberation.
    Free the Data Use Open Standards
    XDI (XRI Data Interchange)
  • Beth Kanter has a picture of it.
  • She closed by saying that we want people to be agents for change on their own behalf.
