On the heels of the OpenID Summit, we roll into the Fall Internet Identity Workshop. There are folks here from companies large and small, from grass roots effort, and from the government. I may add more color in text over time, but let me get the ball rolling with some photos to capture the event for posterity. It’s photoblogging time again!
Opening Circle:
Joseph Smarr, CTO of Plaxo, shilling for his session:
Angus Logan of Microsoft and Kevin Marks of BT co-lead a session on optimizing the UX for consenting access to data:
Afternoon breakout sessions:
The “unconference” schedule:
Michael Jones of Microsoft kicks off a session on the prototype browser extension for an Identity Selector:
Chris Messina leads a double-session on Activity Streams (so he gets two photos!):
Self-portrait, in the Activity Streams double-live marathon:
Eran Hammer-Lahav of the “Hammer Stack,” bringing lots of spec-development experience to the Activity Streams working session:
Late afternoon collaboration:
On the third morning of the Internet Identity Workshop, Joseph Smarr and I welcomed Facebook’s Luke Shepard on to a special episode of The Social Web TV to discuss the big news of Facebook becoming an OpenID Relying Party.
The Internet Identity Workshop is such a special event. Heavy hitters from Facebook, Google, MySpace, Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL, Plaxo, and more, all rolling up their sleeves on the most interesting problems of the emergent Social Web!
Here, with little commentary, my images from Day 2 of the event…
Luke Shepard of Facebook and George Fletcher of AOL led a multi-faceted session on the issues of being an OpenID Relying Party:
Angus Logan of Microsoft led a great session on a more scalable approach to letting developers register for API keys:
From a highly productive session on Activity Streams:
The afternoon demo session:
Two towering figures in the space: Joseph Smarr of Plaxo and Luke Shepard of Facebook. These guys are pushing the envelope, fighting the good fight, showing what’s possible with OpenID (as a Relying Party), and helping the whole industry work through the issues.
Here’s to another great IIW!
The past six months have flown by, and it is once again time for the semi-annual Internet Identity Workshop (IIW). I’ll post impressions and photos here from time to time throughout the day.
I had the honor of joining David Recordon and Chris Messina for an opening session on main stage, covering OpenID and other technologies of the Social Web. Here’s the presentation we used to structure our chat. It was almost the “Social Web TV” live!
Here’s the view from the stage:
The second session was on Information Cards, led by Reed Drummond:
The last of the morning sessions is Doc Searls on Vendor Relationship Management (VRM), which turns CRM on its head. Great stuff. You can’t and shouldn’t “own your customer”. Doc asks, “What’s another word for owning a human being?”
After lunch, we reconvened, this time in a three ring circle. About to begin the scheduling of the “unconference”.
Here are the key concepts behind the “unconference” model:
Some of the afternoon sessions:
In the thick of it: Sitting with Luke Shepard of Facebook (big news of today, as they became the largest OpenID Relying Party). Folks around us include Angus Logan of Microsoft and Dirk Balfanz and Breno de Medieros from Google.
Sessions in Rooms E, F, and G:
And here’s my post on Day Two.
More shots of history in the making at the Internet Identity Workshop.
We just uploaded a special episode of The Social Web TV, shot on location at the Internet Identity Workshop at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. Special guests include Max Engel of MySpace, Eran Hammer of Yahoo, Dick Hardt of Sxipper, Paul Trevithick of Parity, and Doc Searls of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. I think you’ll agree that this is a “magical” episode!
It’s Day Two of the Internet Identity Workshop. There’s a lot of important work being done, work that will have deep impact on our Internet experience. So I thought someone should capture some images for posterity. I love that the event is taking place at the Computer History Museum. We also shot an episode of The Social Web TV here this morning, which should go live tomorrow morning.
Here are my photos from Day Two:
It’s Day One of the Internet Identity Workshop, a semi-annual gathering of the thought leaders in the online identity space. This grass-roots event, which has been around for three years, now finds itself at the center of a space that is really heating up, with big mainstream Internet players like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, MySpace, and Facebook, all racing to outdo each other as identity providers.
Among the talks:
David Recordon (of SixApart, the OpenID Foundation, and the Open Web Foundation) had a great talk on OpenID and the great progress being made, with mainstream adoption in the U.S. and Japan, in particular. Not surprisingly, there will be lots of sessions on OpenID over the next three days, talking about a variety proposed extensions. Given all the recent announcements (Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, and MySpace), this is really OpenID’s time to shine. I took a few photos to capture the moment.
Photos from David Recordon’s talk:
Interesting talks on SAML and Information Cards, two topics I don’t know very much about. SAML is more on the enterprise side of identity. Information Cards seeks to span both the enterprise and consumer Internet space. Information Cards has a focus on verifiable claims, like “Joe Smith is over 21″.
Oh, and I snapped a fun shot of MySpace’s MAx Engel, who was at the back of the room, getting his laptop juiced, and working with totally casual posture. Max is doing great stuff to bring the Open Stack to life at MySpace.
Joseph Smarr of Plaxo just gave another great talk, this one on the “Open Stack” and how it is greater than the sum of its parts. The PowerPoint can be downloaded
here. Joseph demoed the combo of OpenID, OAuth, Portable Contacts, and XRDS-Simple. And he shared screenshots of a Portable Contacts app for Android. Way cool!
Here are some photos of his talk.
