She’s Geeky is coming to Seattle in April 26-27.
I will be heading up to facilitate and am very excited to finally have this event coming to the North West.
She’s Geeky is a kind of magical event where women geeks of all kinds, gaming geeks, linux geeks, fandom geeks, crafting geeks, beekeeping geeks, drupal geeks, raspberry pi geeks, Arduino geeks, geeks in training, come together and hang out learning from each other.
Maybe we can even get some women from my native Vancouver to come down. 🙂
Event
Online Community Unconfernece "Its BACK!"
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.

Super Trip Review from NSTIC to RSA
I’ve been on two super trips recently. One went from before American Thanksgiving to early December. This last one was much of February beginning with NSTIC and ending with RSA. I wrote this in pen and paper last week and typed it up today.
One way I manage to get around is to piece together what could only be considered “super trips” – 18 days.
I actually started off at home on Feb 2nd helping Van Riper run the Community Leadership Summit West. Its an unconfernece for mostly technical community leaders but also managers but was inclusive of other community based community leaders. I will have a blog post about it up on my Unconference.net site.
February 4th I headed to NSTIC’s 3rd plenary in Phoenix. I presented the results of the Holistic Picture Visualization Sub-Committee printing out the images we found online. Bob Blakley and Brett McDowell did a good job shaping the agenda and inviting plenary participants to connect with the big vision of NSTIC of 10 years out.
- All implementation actions are complete, and all required policies, processes, tools, and technologies are in place and continuing to evolve to support the Identity Ecosystem.
- A majority of relying parties are choosing to be part of the Identity Ecosystem.
- A majority of U.S. Internet users regularly engage in transactions verified through the Identity Ecosystem.
- A majority of online transactions are happening within the Identity Ecosystem.
- A sustainable market exists for Identity Ecosystem identity and attribute service providers.
While at the same time reminding on the way to getting a man on the Moon we got a Monkey into the Ionosphere – so what is our monkey in an Ionosphere – at the plenary groups were invited to articulate this:
- Relying parties from multiple sectors are demonstrating identity and strong authentication credential interoperability
- Is easier to use than the broken user account and password methods
- Licensed professionals now have a common way to express credentials and ongoing certification. No longer do licensed professionals need to scan, fax or otherwise send paper copies proving their qualifications every time another client seeks to retain their services.
- allows citizens to securely establish a multi-purpose single identity that will significantly reduce, and eventually eliminate, the need to create and maintain multiple passwords and PINs.
- Secure web accounts for use in circles of on line providers by 10 banks, 15 insurance companies and 25 hospitals.
NSTIC and She's Geeky
I took the opportunity of the women’s technology conference I run (She’s Geeky) to host sessions about NSTIC. This diagram was drawn. It articulates the issue of attention and participation based on those in industry and those not “in” industry.
European Workshop on Trust & Identity in Feb
I’m going to Vienna in Febuary to work with Rainer and Marks on an event they are pulling together (and invited me to help with).
The European Workshop on Trust and Identity
February 12-13 in Vienna.
Registration is here.
Internet identity, identity federation and personal data online are complex, continually evolving areas. The event is inspired by similar events such as the Internet Identity Workshop
in California, Identity North in Canada, and Identity Next in the Netherlands, with a focus on European perspectives and initiatives. At EWTI participants will seek deeper understanding, and better solutions to challenges like:
- Technology. Developing feasible and open standards.
- Trust Frameworks. Establishing new paradigms and policy sets.
- Usability. How can users navigate different identities and understand their data?
- Economy. How can identity services fit into businesses requirements and opportunities for all stakeholders?
- Interoperability. On which levels and areas is interoperability necessary or feasible? This is a cross-cutting concern for technical, legal and business views.
- Deployment and operation. How can different options be supported and exploited in the best way, given the whole range of places and devices.
- EU project challenges. The European Commission’s projects related to trust and identity like STORK and eID regulation are landmarks on the roadmap. How do other actors relate to and utilize those projects?
Besides discussing specific topics in the above areas, there will also be plenty of opportunities for networking among solution providers and seekers, startups, investors and technology pundits. EIW provides a place where skilled people from a wide range of functions and projects in the identity ecosystem gather and work intensively for two days. The unconference format puts into the foreground what is important for the participants. How much attention topics receive is driven by active participation. Results will be collected and published at the and as proceedings. After the brief introduction on the first day there are no formal presentations, no keynotes, no panels. What happens then? We will make the schedule when we are face to face the first day of the conference. We use a method called Open Space Technology to support unconference where the topics most important to the participants that day are discussed. How much attention topics receive is driven by active participation. This supports a self-organized and self-responsible group unleashing the great creativity and passion of the participants. Results from sessions will be collected and published at the end as proceedings.
Communicate Across Initiatives
There are numerous IDM-related efforts and projects in both private and public sector. EIW is a place for direct talks skipping hours of time-consuming powerpoint presentations. Take the opportunity to form the contents yourself!

Looking Ahead to 2013
The month of January I’m spending at home in the Bay Area and focused on a few key things:
- Working with Phil Wolff and Jean Russell on key systems for the Personal Data Ecosystem Consortium with an emphasis on the Startup Circle, Personal Cloud Gathering around the country, Educational Seminars and preparing to launch the Open Protocol Wire (to track all the open protocols relevant to the emerging space).
- Doing year long planning and business development for the Unconference design, facilitation and production company with Bill Aal, Jennifer Holmes and Jean Russell.
- Visioning how all the interests and themes I have been engaged with in my life’s work are woven together in this coming year – a few more posts will follow to share current ideas/reflections.
The year will include:
- Focusing on my personal human form sustainability and happiness.
- Including making space for bodily healing and regeneration
- moving and exercising
- growing my relationships with my chosen family
- spending quality and extended time with good friends
- making time for my art
- creating a beautiful and nurturing home environment
- having time to think and be away from home
- completing life homework (paperwork) that has been put off to long
- consciously connecting to my spiritual self
- reflecting and connecting with my ancestors and sharing more about them online
- Growing the Personal Data Ecosystem into a Thriving Community and Organization Supporting it.
- Spending more time with the Personal Data Ecosystem startups and growing the number we serve.
- Offering Seminars to get individuals, companies and funders up to speed.
- Getting great informational synthesis systems in place for news updates, white papers, events etc.
- Developing peer educational opportunities across the ecosystem (podcasts, webinars etc).
- Growing the number of Personal Cloud Meetups happening
- Helping coordinate joint activities and conversations including engaging with governments as they look at regulation.
- Working with Evan Prodromo and others on making real mutli-code base, open standards based interoperable Federated Social Web.
- Developing some socially responsible investing SRI and Corporate Social Responsibility guidelines for technology that go beyond “is the electricity in your data center green”
- Figuring out how
- Engaging with the NSTIC process including attending the Phoenix meeting in early February (you are invited too).
- Working with Aestetix on the NymRights efforts within and beside NSTIC.
- Completing the work of the holistic picture subcommittee I lead and seeing what is next.
- Working on getting citizen advocates who are diverse engaged in the process
- Continuing to advocate for and provide ideas about how to actually put into practice inclusive, easy to participate in processes for NSTIC that get input from a broad range of stakeholders AND create enough space for industry folks used to enterprise identity management to actually “get” that this isn’t about employee provisioning and termination.
- Inviting a focus within NSTIC to listening and responding to the complex system of the existing and emerging identity ecosystem rather then pursuing “plans” developed in committees of self appointed experts.
- Considering running again for the NSTIC Management Council seat in the elections coming up this spring.
Connecting & working with Young Global Leaders and WEF
Summer -> Fall Talks/Plans
Today is my first talk for the summer. I am speaking at the Berkeley Cybersalon with a great cast of characters. Lost and Found on the Social Web.
I head to Europe on Wednesday; you can see the outline for that trip here: European Travel and Podcasts this Summer
I return on the 27th and speak the next day at the SDForum Women’s SIG on the topic of Women, Identity and Data – exploring what women want in these realms. It will be interactive.
I will be travelling to Portland for the Community Leadership Summit on July 14 and 15th along with my Unconference.net partner Bill Aal.
I head to Denver/Vail for the Cloud Identity Summit July 16-19th and will be giving the closing Keynote with Bob Blakley on Identity and Social Justice.
The WEF Young Global Leader Silicon Valley Summit 2.0: Shaping the future of entrepreneurship and innovation is July 25-27th. You can see the outline of the program here – it focuses on Google, Facebook and Zynga. I’m hoping we can also connect with some open source and open standards efforts.
August is currently open and will likely involve a trip to/through the NorthWest (Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Salt Spring, Hollyhock)
September is “Summer Davos” in China where there may be some programmatic activity covering the Personal Data Ecosystem.
October is the National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation national conference in Seattle. I plan to put in a proposal/workshop covering online identity and the nuances/issues surrounding it. For those of you who have been tracking my work, this community is the world’s leading forum (+Canadian Equivalent C2D2) for truly innovative, deliberative public methods that provide the opportunity for collective wisdom to come forward. It is these types of methods that we need to solve the “NSTIC governance” challenges relative to a complex system. I worked with one of their leading members, Tom Atlee, founder of the Co-Intelligence Institute, on the chapter in my NSTIC response about governance.
The INTERNET IDENTITY WORKSHOP is October 23-25!
We are working with the W3C on having the Federated Social Web Summit be the day before October 22nd somewhere near IIW.
Identity.Next in The Hague is Nov 21-22; hopefully it will have an unconference within it.
I have been invited to speak in Brussels on November 29th.
European Travel and Podcasts this Summer
I’m heading to Europe on Wednesday. The travel plans and events are below. One of the main reasons I am going is to connect with the people and communities in Europe working on identity and personal data. I want to come back with about 10 podcasts recorded with key people from the community that I meet along the way – these will be edited on my return and posted on the web publicly.
I will also be inviting/encouraging participation with PDEC in the two main ways we have so far to engage.
* If you are a startup or a proejct focused on how people are in charge of their personal data you can apply to be part of the Startup Circle.
* If you are in an enterprise or just interested you can subscribe to the Journal.
Please don’t be afraid to reach out and connect with me if you are in Europe or know some folks in Europe I should be sure to connect with on this trip. Kaliya@pde.cc txt:510472-9069 Skype: Identitywoman

Upcoming Travel and Events – March is busy!
I have made a resolution for the new year to blog more about things I am thinking about and working on along with where I will be and where I have been.
The big news from last week was the coming IPO of Facebook and the release of how the NSTIC Pilots will work [PDF]. They are going to grant 10 million dollars and the first deadline is March 7th.
So this coming month is quiet until the 3rd week. Then there is the Personal Archiving conference and an event about a new reputation system.
ID Collaboration Day is happening February 27th the Monday of RSA week. We are expecting a good group from a range of organizations. We are in the same venue as last year Blacklight Ventures at Mission and South Van Ness. IIW/Identity Commons is collaborating with Kantara Initiative and OASIS IDTrust. I suspect that NSTIC will be a major topic of conversation.
Ping Identity is having its major party on Monday evening at the ROE Night club upstairs lounge at 651 Howard starting at 9pm.
Strata is also this week – O’Reilly’s data conference. I spoke at their online conference in the summer on personal data running a good panel with a highly relevant introduction and well faciltiated panel on personal data that I helped pull together. I submitted several different proposals touching on different aspects of data and people and the technologies developing in the ecosystem. Apparently non-qualified but then O’Reilly and company are still trying to find women speakers who are qualified for their events (they talked about it at two events I facilitated/attended in January the Community Leadership Summit West and She’s Geeky in January). I am honestly confused and didn’t submit any proposals to OSCON in part for this reason.
Then it is SXSW. I am flying out on Wednesday with my long time friend Axil who is getting of an airplane form Asia that day. I will be there until Sunday. Saturday Mike Shwartz from Gluu is hosting what look to be good community connecting events.
————————————————————————————-
Personal Data Lightning Round
Date: Saturday March 10 from 1pm – 3pm
Lunch will be served at this informal lightning round. If you want to present your product, service or project in 5 minutes, stop by and drop your name in the hat. 12-15 lucky individuals, selected at random, will get the spotlight from 1:30 – 3:00. Topics must be personal data or identity related. If you go over 5 minutes you’ll be pelted by the audience with foam icosahedron stress balls.
Identity Biergarten
Date: Saturday March 10 from 6:00pm – 8:00pm
German inspired malted beverages and other refreshments from local producers will be served at this informal identity and personal data networking event. Date: Saturday March 10 from 6:00pm – 8:00pm
————————————————————————————-
Sunday I fly to London for the Gartner Identity and Access Management Conference where I will be keynoting Monday the 12th at the end of the day. My talk is going to cover the Identity Spectrum and how Personal Data tools and services can reduce the toxic issues for companies storing personal data about people.
I fly to DC on the 13th and attend the 2nd day of the NIST-IDTrust conference on the 14th. Then the OASIS IDTrust Steering Committe has a face to face meeting on the 15th and I fly back to my home in the Bay Area.
On the 16th Friday I fly to Australia and land on the 18th Sunday in the morning. My cousin’s (my dad’s sister’s kids will pick me up and I am taking the family photos I have from our shared grandparents house down with me). I am speaking at Digital Identity World Australia on the 20th and working with Steve Wilson on an IIW like conference either on the 19th or 22nd. I am flying back on the 23rd to SFO (I so wish I could stay longer).
There is “tiger team day” just before the STL-Partners New Digital Economics event that should be a good event covering the emerging ecosystem.
Between now and then we will publish two more Personal Data Frontiers (we are thinking about changing the name to Journal) and I am working on a jointly published report with STL-Partners on the Personal Data Ecosystem Landscape.
Then…its April and the Nonprofit Technology Conference a talk for Nuestar in a speakers series they have and I will be watching the European Identity & the Cloud Conference with interest.
IIW #14 is happening May 1-3 – early bird registration is Open.
Recent Activity Pt 2: Canada & Boston
Immediately following IIW (post here). I headed to Canada to speak at the International Women in Digital Media Summit.
The iWDMS brings together professionals from traditional and digital media communities, as well as educational/research institutions from around the world. With high level keynotes, cross-sector dialogue, expert panelists, controversial debates and structured networking, the Summit will promote knowledge-sharing, and will explore innovation, skills gaps, policy and research in digital media–including gaming, mobile, and social media–and the impacts on and advancements by women globally.
I gave an “Ideas and Inspiration” talk for 20 min about the Personal Data Ecosystem called The Old Cookies are Crumbling: How Context & Persona aware personal data servcies change everything and will transform the world and was also on a panel about New Media Literacies.
There are a few things I took away from this event:
1) Countries like Canada are very small with just 30 million people and the center of commercial/intellectual life in Toronto an event like this really brings together a core group of high profile women in the media production business that represents much of the industry.
2) Both the government of Canada, provinces like Ontario and universities like Ryerson are very serious about attracting and retaining top technology and media talent with a variety of tax and investment incentives.
3) See point (1) because of that …one must think internationally about appeal and distribution of any media across the whole world not just one market.
4) The way they talk about diversity used lang had language I never heard before the term “designated groups” included folks with disabilities, first nations people (in the US they would be “American Indians”), women, and ethnic minorities.
5) The idea that people shouldn’t be stalked around the web to “monetize” them was new and provoked some thinking amongst those who made their living developing metrics.
It was great to connect to Canada again and I hope that with the IIW coming up in Toronto in February some of the women who I met there can attend and consider how media can change with new tools for people to manage their identity and data.
I got to meet up with Aran Hamilton (@Aranh) who coordinated efforts around the NSTIC of Canada in Toronto. We outlined the possibility of a Satellite IIW in Toronto and I learned more about what is going on there. Basically up to point (1) above…Canada is small. 95% of people have a bank account and of that something like 85% have accounts with one of 5 banks (Bank of Montreal, Toronto Dominion Bank/Canada Trust, CIBC, Royal Bank of Canada, Scotia Bank) and there are 3 telco’s. So it seems like getting an NSTIC like system in place in Canada could involves meetings with a few dozen people. They have the added advantage that Canadians have a higher trust in their government and institutions like banks and telco’s and have fewer “privacy rights” organizations. So our IIW should be interesting and I hope that we can get some good cross over between the January 17th event in DC and this one.
After Toronto headed to the 4th MassTLC Innovation Unconference. It was great to be joined by Briana Cavanaugh who is working with me now at UnConference.net. The community was thriving and it was the biggest ever unconference that I have run at 800 people and lots of sessions. Jason Calacanis who apparently has relocated to Boston was there. Jeff Taylor was there and had a rocking “un-official” after party that he DJ’ed. The most notable costume was a guy in a suit with a 99% on his forehead. Yes Occupy Wall Street became a halloween costume.
Heading to Europe – 4 Events + 9 "free" days
I am coming to Europe in November for four events that are all Identity related… Instead of doing an IIW “in” Europe we have decided to support IIW like events :). I also need to find interesting things to do for 9 days in November.
Identity.Next is in TheHague on November 9th http://www.identitynext.nl
1/2 the day is an unconference that I am helping to facilitate. If you can make it I highly recomend it – it was a great event last year and should prove to be again this year.
Digital Death Day is happening November 11th in Amsterdam. http://www.digitaldeathday.com
It is a super ineteresting topic – What happens to your Data After you Die?
Please spread the word about this event it is totally grassroots, and the conversations in this are are really amazing…if still not yet a mainstream part of the digital identity community.
I will be speaking about the Personal Data Ecosystem ( you will be happy to know there are 6 startups from Europe in the Startup Circle) at the STL Partners New Digital Economics event in London on November 10th that will be the only time I am in the UK.
I am looking for interesting things to do and people/ places to visit between November 12th and November 21st on the contenent. Drop me a line if you have ideas or invitations – kaliya@identitywoman.net.
I end my trip speaking at TEDx Brussels on November 22nd about a “day deep in the future” still trying to figure out what I will say but I am contemplating…open to community ideas actually as I am focused on getting a clear vision of the talk in the next week.
Gender Matters in CS & Tech & The World
I don’t need to say much. This graphic from the New York Times explains it simply Computer Science and Engineering are getting worse for women and have been for 10 years. These industries are where law and medicine were in the 50’s and 60’s. I share this fact with people from other industries and they look at me funny and say “really” – YES really. They have believed the myth that technology is a a meritocracy and really progressive.

OpenID Connect Tech Summit – Next Week
| I got this note today from the folks at OpenID. I will be attending some of the event. If you are keen on understanding the future of this technology it is worth attending. I am actually quite positive about the user-experience and research that is informing this next generation fo the OpenID protocol and hopeful it gives an alternative for the whole web to Facebook Connect. OpenID “Connect Tech” Summit – September 12-13, 2011 The OpenID Foundation is launching its third OpenID Summit for 2011. This event is co-sponsored by Microsoft and will be held at the Microsoft Research Campus in Mountain View. The OpenID Foundation’s 2011 series of OpenID Summits focuses on use cases and topics of interest to key developers, executives and analysts in the online identity industry. This OpenID summit gives web site developers and technologists a closer look at the OpenID Connect protocol, its use cases and adoption plans by leading companies. We will introduce “Account Chooser” its implementation and user experience and provide interop testing and feedback for next generation OpenID adoption. Please join us on Monday, September 12, 2011 from 12:00 Noon until 5:00pm PDT and Tuesday, September 13, 2011 from 10:00am to 4:30pm PDT. Registration is now open at the following link: REGISTER NOW!

Join us for IIW – NSTIC, Nymwars, OpenID, Personal Data, and more.
Founded in 2005 by me, Doc Searls, and Phil Windley (Yes it is an odd but fun bunch), IIW is focused on user-centric digital identity. Registration is Open!
Internet Identity Workshop #13 October 18-20 in Mountain View
The Internet Identity Workshop focuses on “user-centric identity” and trying to solve the technical challenge of how people can manage their own identity across the range of websites, services, companies and organizations that they belong to, purchase from and participate with. We also work on trying to address social and legal issues that arise with these new tools. This conference we are going to also focus some attention on business models that can make this ecology of web services thrive.
The NSTIC Stakeholder community has been invited.

Nymwars: IRL on Google's Lawns.
We need to bring this struggle to Google IRL (In Real Life – physical, real world, meet space). Here is my thinking on why and my ideas about how.
WHY: Even women with privileged access to Google insiders and who have real name handle combinations are not getting reinstated.
Proactive Development of Shared Language by NSTIC Stakeholders
This is the “punchline section” (in my response it is after what is below…the history of collaboration in the identity community):
Proactive Development of Shared Language by NSTIC Stakeholders
In 2004-5 the Identity Gang (user-centric identity community) was 1/10 the size of the current NSTIC stakeholder community. It took us a year of active grassroots effort to develop enough common language and shared understanding to collaborate. NSTIC doesn’t have 5-10 years to coalesce a community that can collaborate to build the Identity Ecosystem Framework. To succeed, the National Program Office must use processes to bring value and insight while also developing shared language and understanding amongst stakeholders participating.

Emerging Themes for IIW12
One of the reasons I love IIW is that really smart people with passion can come together, discuss hard problems AND make real progress towards solving them. This is just my take – of course the workshop will be created by the people who attend.
OpenID “The Next Generation”:
In my last post I said some things that some people associated with particular technologies may have interpreted in a way that I didn’t intend. I said “OpenID as we know it” was dead – but OpenID itself is very much alive and making progress to the next generation of OpenID. The work led by Nat Sakimura on Attribute Binding and the proposal to do an OpenID Connect by David Recordon have merged into OpenID-ABC. They are making steady progress led by John Bradley and Nat with active participation from Microsoft, Google and Facebook. My hope is that some more people from independent web perspectives – hint hint Evan and Sarah 😉 can get involved too.
The OpenID Summit on May 2 will be a place where people are gathering to focus on the technology and progress will be made at IIW following.
Media, Trust and the Freedom to Comment:
Issues surfacing around the release of Facebook Comments and the “protection” they in theory give against trolls – articulated here on TechCrunch.
Facebook Comments homes in on trolling by forcing real identity, but the end result isn’t just the silencing of trolls, it’s the silencing of everyone.
I have been surprised by the number of projects surfacing about how individuals share and connect information about media. Bill Densmore has had a project called CircLabs for a while. Hypothes.is is a project that I just learned about that is in the research phase.
Personal Data – Legal and Technical Issues:
The buzz around various startups in the Personal Data Ecosystem is growing. Kynetx, Phil Windley’s company, has launched their new site for apps on the live web. This week TrustFabric put out Beta 3. Tara Hunt published an article about Personal Data on O’Reilly Radar. Drummond & Joe are working on Connect.me. Azigo has new software out. Mydex has completed its community prototype in the UK. Personal.com has a site up but is not live yet. Statz.com has begun a board of trade for people’s data and lets them upload their data. Folks from the Locker Project will also be attending.
Last week was Personal Data 2.0 with many sessions about key issues – it was a great warmup for IIW and precursor for the same workshop a week after IIW in London the same day as a similar conversation at the European Identity Conference. We are hosting Yukon Day, a day we are inviting investors to, on the third day of IIW. There are many legal issues to be discussed around data and rights. Scott David wrote a post about why lawyers should come to IIW.
NSTIC: Making it Real
The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace is being announced today at the US Chamber of Commerce. I wrote about why we shouldn’t freak out about it after the program office was announced at Stanford. Government leaders working on actually implementing open standards for identity login at NIH and other agencies participated in our east coast satellite event last September in DC. This coming IIW will be a great opportunity to make progress in the dialogue about the issues NSTIC raises and to get down to the nitty gritty of implementing.
