Eugene Kim: a detailed outline of the landscape and open source projects in identity development, highlighting technical issues and philosophical issues. Some basic terminology will be covered.

Identity Projects will be highlighted:

Johannes Ernst, CEO of NetMesh : the open-participation YADIS project that brings together three different identity systems: OpenID, LID and i-names (XRI) and makes them interoperable. YADIS enables capabilities discovery, sign-on, profile exchange and many other capabilitites that developers are plugging into the YADIS framework.

David Recordon of Six Apart / LiveJournal / OpenID will add some additional information about OpenID.

John Merrells, CTO of SXIP, will talk about their tools and coming developer kit.

Andy Dale, of OoTao, will talk about the i-names identity service he is building.

Drummond Reed, Cordance and OASIS XRI/XDI TC, will be on hand to answer questions about OASIS XRI, i-names, and i-numbers.

Examples of developer projects using identity will be highlighted.

Mary Hodder will talk about her choice to adopt emerging identity tools available in the application she is developing.
