Notes

WordPress

Any WP hackers out there? We'd like to get some things set up with the VRM blog, but it seems to be a bit challenging.

Sxipper

Good review from Dean Landsman. Fluid and open, yet gives me control at the level I want. Most of the time. There are a few spots where it advances through where I didn't want to, but generally pretty good. Sxip comes out of the Identity community and, in some ways, are basically and interface between user-centric identity and legacy identity, which means password management. They are VRM-y, so check them out and give some feedback.

SuperNova

An unconference VRM workshop will be collocated at the SuperNova conference. Good news is that it will likely attract some new people. We probably won't have to do much--the beauty of the unconference/Open Space format. Date: Tuesday the 19th. Wiki: http://www.socialtext.net/sn-openspace/index.cgi?supernova_2007_open_space

London Report

Last week, we had a meeting with JP Ragaswami, Adriana, Iain Henderson and...

Out of that came the desire to host several workshops focused on particular use cases in VRM.

  • Health Care

J&J and Revolution Health Care (where Doc's son and Steve Case, formerly of AOL, now work). Both companies are interested in having more conversations, as they are both focused on user-centric approaches to medical care.

In Doc's latest health care experience at Berkman. He got great service thanks to the Harvard system, but as his data travelled with him from the clinic to Mass General, every single data contact had errors: spelling his name wrong, something.

Dean describes that he gets super spammed for diabetic products and services.

We want to make this different in two ways:

  1. Unconference format
  2. Keeping the focus on user-centric solutions rather than vendor-centric approaches. If we take care of the individuals in a way that is productive for vendors, we will also address vendors needs by the time we build out the system.

Evangelism Corner

Dean's been getting good results describing VRM by explaining how you are in control of what information you give out and how it is used. Controlling access and limiting data mining. Control over how much of your identity that you give out.
