VRM Workshop 2008

2008-07-14T15:45:21Z

IdentityWoman:

The first ProjectVRM Workshop (tag [http://technorati.com/tag/vrm2008 vrm2008]) will be hosted by ProjectVRM and the [http://cyber.law.harvard.edu Berkman Center] at Pound Hall at [http://law.harvard.edu Harvard Law School], on Monday-Tuesday 14-15 July. The event will go from 9AM to 5:30 on both days.

The purpose of the workshop is to bring people together and make progress on any number of VRM topics and projects. The workshop will be run as an "unconference" on the open space model, which means session topics will be chosen by participants. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology Here is the Wikipedia page on open space.]

In open space there are no speakers or panels -- just participants, gathered to get work done and enjoy doing it. Participation includes contributing to the [[VRM Workshop 2008]] wiki.

==Space==

We have three classrooms booked, all in Pound Hall. Two rooms have a power outlet at every seat. The third has wall outlets. In each the seating is arranged in a horseshoe shape, so everybody can face everybody else.

If we need additional small session spaces, there are plenty of those out on the lawns and in the halls and public seating areas amongst nearby buildings at the Law School. We'll make room on the session "spreadsheet" for these, so we're ready if the need arises.

== Possible Topics ==

There are many. Here is a list to get us started. Add or subtract whatever you like...

* The Mine! (Adriana Lukas)
* Volunteered Personal Information (Iain Henderson)
* RelButton -- and first use challenge: a biz model for public media (Doc Searls)
* User-driven Search (Joe Andrieu)
* r-cards (Paul Trevithick)
* VRM and health care
* VRM and employability (Luk Vervenne)
* VRM and social web stuff (Kevin Marks)
* VRM standards, policies and practices (Brett McDowell)
* VRM and TiddlyWiki
* VRM + (rather than vs.)CRM (VRM<>CRM dialogue, digital conversations: next step in the maturity cycle?)
* VRM and legal openings, hurdles, models and precedents (Renee Lloyd)
* Trust architecture for securely shared services involving personal information (www.tas3.eu, Luk Vervenne)
* VRM and the reaction/acceptancce in European Enterprise (Bart Stevens)
* VRM Perception by BigBiz in the USA (Deb Schultz)
* VRM Vendor Adoption, market "best fit", and disruption (Keith Hopper)
* VRM and multi-channel opportunities for manufacturers [Amazon - Sony use case], (Mike Kirkwood)
* VRM and product representation (Davor Meersman)

== Getting There ==

Pound Hall is located on the Harvard campus at 1563 Massachusetts Avenue, within the Law School. Some resources --

* [http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Getting_to_and_around_Cambridge Wikimania on Cambridge]

Parking is a hassle, so we highly recommend taking public transportation. Fortunately, the Boston Area has some of the best public transportation in the U.S. The Harvard Campus is adjacent to Harvard Square, which is a stop on the Red Line of the "T", Boston's subway system. The Red Line is the best of all the "T" lines. Trains roll through every stop only few minutes apart, and the trains are fast. If you can find accommodations near a Red Line stop, you'll be in great shape. Cambridge area stops are Alewife, Davis, Porter, Harvard, Central and Kendall. In Boston the near ones are Charles/MGH, Park, Government Center and South Station.

Getting to Pound Hall:

From the Harvard "T" station go up the stairs to "Church Street." At the top of the stairs, turn right to walk across Church (and past the church itself), then up "Mass Ave" past Cambridge Common (the large park on the left). At the next light (Waterhouse Street), cross over to the Harvard side of Mass Ave, then turn left to continue north. Pound Hall will come up on your right, just before a big construction project. A granite sign says "HARRVARD LAW SCHOOL." Look for the workshop in the center of the ground floor. If you walk fast you can make it in 5 minutes from the "T".

== Participation over the Net ==

We have a [http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/tags/IdeaStorm_3A00_+Ideas+in+Action/default.aspx video stream].

We also have an IRC channel via Freenode, at #VRM.

VRM Workshop 2008

2008-05-21T18:35:35Z

IdentityWoman:

The first ProjectVRM Workshop (tag [http://technorati.com/tag/pvrmw2008a pvrmw2008a]) will be hosted by ProjectVRM and the [http://cyber.law.harvard.edu Berkman Center], here at [http://harvard.edu Harvard University], on 25-26 June. (As of 20 March 2008 this is tentative, but it will become firm if we agree on the dates.)

Our model is the [http://iiw.idcommons.net/index.php/Main_Page IIW -- Internet Identity Workshop], an outstanding and highly productive workshop that has been happening twice a year since Fall 2005. VRM was a big topic at the last one, and perhaps the next one too. This VRM workshop is posed as the first at which the VRM conversation finally breaks off on its own from incubation at the IIWs.

The main purpose of the workshop is to work on development: moving code forward, and bringing existing code together. Also for the various committees to get together in physical space to move their work forward as well.

There won't be a cost to the event, but our budget is minimal, so basically what we'll be doing is making use of a small block Harvard classrooms at a time when school is out of session.

If you can come, please add your name to the attendee list. If working with a wiki is daunting for you (as it is for most people), please send me your name and I'll add it to the list. My email: dsearls AT cyber.law.harvard.edu
