Identity Gang

About
The Identity Gang is a group of folks that found a common interest in user-centric identity and started meeting at events in 2004.

We have an active mailing list of over 400 people. If you would like to join feel free to just make a request of [mailto:paul@socialphysics.org Paul], [mailto:phil@windley.org Phil] or [mailto:identitywoman@gmail.com Kaliya]. The list contents are not public but are available to the members of the list (for list members, here is a link to the archives).

We no longer keep a wiki list of all active participants.

We are a Working Group of Identity Commons - see our charter.

Mission
To support the ongoing conversation about what is needed for a user-centric Internet identity layer that supports the whole marketplace, especially individuals.

Events
The Internet Identity Workshop produces the main community conferences. The Identity Gang puts on smaller functions when the occasion arises.

We are having an Identity Commons Get Together at RSA 2008 on Wednesday the 9th at 7:30 Venue TBD. (ok we think this is the time good but if there is some major conflict we don't know about let us know and we will shift it. A week from now this time/date will become solid)

We want to get together have a nice dinner (no host) and connect as a community. There is lots to celebrate and a range of reasons to get together.


 * The Third OSIS Interop happening on Tuesday at RSA along with a Concordia event on Monday.


 * There is an emerging Enterprise Positioning Group that has formed in IC that can be a resource for those working on the "How do we explain all this user-centric identity stuff to enterprise clients problem." This is an opportunity meet the folks in that group and learn more about participating.
 * We have the Internet Identity Workshop in coming up May 12-14 along with some events around Data Sharing in April and May. You can talk about ideas to talk about an put forward ideas to th e organizers.
