VRM Day 2013a

VRM Days are always scheduled on the Monday prior to IIW, which always happens on Tuesday-Thursday at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. This next IIW will be on 7-9 May, so this next VRM Day will be on 6 May.

Sign up here, via Eventbrite.

VRM Days are for planning what we'll be working on at IIW. Here is a preliminary roster of topics:

• Personal Clouds in general
• Interoperability mapping
• How to get 4th parties interested in verticals, e.g. health care, government, retail) "Medicine cabinet" instead of wallets
• What average joe/jane use case(s) will drive adoption?
• Use case deep dive — An active session, attendees simulate the use case communications between the device, pcloud, vendor, etc.
• Intentcasting
• Governance, including standards/patterns
• Next-gen SSO (e.g.Persona)
• Legal Hacks & License harmonization
• Wallets & apps for transactions, photos, etc. Bitcoin as a VRM money clip, safe deposit box... (see session from the last IIW)
• Tracking and ad blocking, and harmonizing methods and experiences
• Bringing 4th parties into verticals, e.g...
  • Health Care VRM — "medicine cabinets" rather than "wallets"
  • Real estate
  • Banking (including credit cards, payments, transactions)
  • Retail
• Sovereign vs./+ Administrative identities
• Drummond, for Respect Network:
