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 a Social Event in NYC on Feb 19th at 7pm. Angelsoft has agreed to be our venue host they are located at 30 E 23rd 8th Floor. . We will charge a small fee to cover dinner. Kaliya Hamlin, Identity Woman will present about Identity Commons - where we are now and how to get involved. There may also be a few brief presentations about projects happening in the community. The main focus will be not be 'presentations' but talking to each other.
