IIWX: The Videos

May 19th, 2010

This year I’ve been scrambling between sessions that start and end with no break in between. Many of the videos are missing the first few minutes; the whole of the sessions are here. I’ll be uploading these over the next couple of days as my net access is severely constrained. One might reasonably think that the Computer History Museum–in the heart of Silicon Valley–would have good wireless connectivity, but I’ve seen too many jokes about their connecting a 300 baud modem to the wireless router. After all, it is history.

Here are my video archives.

My thanks to TubeMogul for distributing these videos, and to Blip.tv for hosting them all.

IIW: past and present

May 9th, 2010

IIW logoIt’s that time of year again. The Internet Identity Workshop (IIW X) is coming up in a week. I’m planning to attend, and will keep you informed by video.

Speaking of IIW and videos, I was just reviewing my videos from last year (IIW IX and IIW8). One lesson learned: last year for IIW IX I tried to live stream the sessions but wow, the network at the Computer History Museum is… how shall I say… less than optimal for anything like staying connected. Many of the videos are in pieces, as the streaming failures usually crashed my browser too.

Here’s what I have from IIW-IX. Sorry about the advertising. I can’t turn it off.

In contrast, I learned a different set of lessons for IIW8 (last spring). Those videos were recorded to disk. I had them all available as .mov files, but have recently updated them all to flash (still apparently the most commonly used format). Thanks to TubeMogul for distributing them to Blip.tv and iTunes. Here’s the post with links to each downloadable session.

If you’re inclined to join us for next week’s event, the logo above will take you to the registration page. Otherwise, stay tuned for selected video from this unconference.

IIW8: What was it all about?

June 17th, 2009

The Internet Identity Workshop (IIW8) was held in May 2009 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. Here’s my brief conference report.

Coaching moment: Like most developments, first comes an idea then a discussion, followed by an implementation and testing. Thankfully most people aren’t involved in these early stages when things may not work well, or may take more patience or tech skills than you have. That said, it’s good to know what’s on the horizon. It helps you be aware of tools that will help you when they become available, and knowing about these tools helps counter some of the spin from companies that want to “help you” protect yourself.

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!
