I am really excited to be working with a super awesome crew of leaders of the Online Community Manager Tribe – or OCTribe. We have been considering reviving the event and the pieces have finally come together to do it.

May 21st at the Computer History Museum

Registration is Open!
I really love the other co-organizers who are all rockstar community managers.

The conference was originally produced by Forum One and I contracted with them to help design and facilitate. That event itself grew out of an invitational summit they hosted annually on online communities. I actually attended one of these in 2004 as a replacement for Owen Davis who I worked for at the time at Identity Commons (1).
My firm Unconference.net is doing the production and facilitation for the event.
I plan to bring forward topics of digital identity forward at the event and hopefully get some of the amazing expertise on identity and reputation to participate in NSTIC.

I-Tags at Net2

I am at the Net2 session on Tagging.Here is how I described the value itags to Beth Kanter.
I have been working with Mary Hodder, Drummond Reed and Andy Dale on itags. It is an open adhoc standard we are proposing for alowing people to use their identity while they tag. This could be a URL they ‘own’ (OpenID) an i-name (XRI) they have or another UUID.
Creators of content could use this to assert CC licenses and provide a long term persistent way to have attribution. People can assert tags across silos – multiple blogs that one posts on and multiple media tagging sites that one tags on.

Online Community Camp was Great

I had a good day at the Online Community Camp at Fort Mason. I have posted some thoughts about the day’s process on my unconference blog on process.
I got to speak to a small group during lunch about the user-centric identity space and again to a larger session focused on emerging technologies – Web2.0 you know. It was well received and many of the folks here were thankful to learn about the emerging trends.
