RSA pt1: What a week

Kaliya Young · April 12, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Wow – what a week. I was not expecting the conference to be as intense as it was. I was able to give more to the conference and get more out of it.
It made me realize how much I have learned about the “enterprise & security scene” in the last 3 years. Three years ago I walked by RSA by accident – it was on at Moscone – theme was 1930’s gangsters. I saw Sxip’s logo on the signs for sponsors and I picked up an agenda. I of course didn’t have a pass at all. The next year as it approached I figured it would be a good learning opportunity and I asked if I could help cover the event for Digital Identity World. It was ALL new to me – I was overwhelmed by the acronyms and I just remember not understanding anything on the show floor – I often had to ask them to ‘explain their thing’ to me. There was certainly no formal talk of user-centrism in at the conference either.
Last year we had the big OpenID, MSFT cooperation announcement – it is nice to see that this was real – with their recent joining of the board (along with other big players). I am not sure there were any presentations about it at the event though. I knew more when wondering the show floor but still had to ask a lot of questions.
This year was amazing – this next series of posts will cover the range of things that happened and my reflections. I really could write for a whole two days – however I only have this morning – I am headed to Seattle today for the Green Festival and a conference I am co-producing and co-facilitating about people stepping outside of the box of regular money. I am back here on Wednesday and will be facilitating the Data Sharing Workshop. I am really excited about this event – last fall we had this event prior to the IIW and it really helped sync up the different things happening that are aligned but have different starting points.
John McCrae of Plaxo wrote a great post about it yesturday that features both “Identity Dog” and our “Data Sharing Snail”.

Oh YEAH! OpenID is now apparently working on my blog for comments – so try it out we shall see if it works.
