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.

April 9th at 7:30pm at RSA
We are having an Identity Commons Get Together

for those in town for RSA and those local

'''Wednesday the 9th gathering starting at 7:15-7:30 for Drinks. Dinner at 8:00. '''

We have the back room of Sauce 131 Gough St. reserved. It holds up to 40 people. It is a very sort cab ride from Moscone. You can also walk if you are adventurous. The food is inexpensive for Foodie food and the wine selection is great. This is a no host dinner. (unless of course someone sponsors)

We want to get together have a nice dinner 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.
