@starkness Here's a link to the event details: http://indiewebcamp.com/events/2014-05-07-homebrew-website-club @dsearls @lewisha #indieweb #iiw
@starkness There's actually a meetup at Mozilla SF tonight! 6:30pm-7:30pm. @dsearls #indieweb #iiw
Enterprise is such an important space, often overlooked (because it often skews older). So much room for innovation. #iiw
Coming to the belief that revealing information about someone without their permission is violence in the Internet age. #iiw
Technology isn't just about the tech. It's about the whole human context around it. So many fields of study in play. #iiw
Two groups I really wish were at #iiw: lawyers and anthropologists. Lots of armchair pontificating on both fields.
Actually brought up @elgg's user research around privacy. Time to do some more, ten yrs later. #iiw
It's now being suggested that it should be okay to be a vigilante to bring people in line with societal norms. Yikes! #iiw
Discussion that there is no such thing as anonymity. Disagree. Key is connecting actions to identity. #iiw
My take: doxing is probably covered by adjacent legislation. #iiw
@FamilyCTO Obvious applicability to profitable consumer applications. Ease of hacking. @dsearls #iiw
Some kind of joke about usually providing the token introspection #iiw
I backed Indie Box. You should too! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/indie-box-let-s-bring-our-data-home #indieweb #iiw
Folks, Heartbleed didn't happen because the code was open source. You wouldn't *know* about it if the code wasn't open. #iiw
Listening to the official crowdfunding launch of the Indie Box: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/indie-box-let-s-bring-our-data-home #indieweb #iiw
Really appreciate all the people talking about independence, freedom & ownership here. #iiw
Pretty excited to finally be at #iiw Mountain View. Looking forward to meeting everyone today.
I've been planning on heading to the Internet Identity Workshop for years; although I did once make it to a one-day London version, I've never managed to get down to Mountain View for the full three-day length.
From the website:
Do you care about privacy in Age of Surveillance? (You should.) Do you want to do something about it? Are you already doing something about it? IIW is where you get to meet and work alongside others tackling the same problem.
Or let's say you care about new forms of money (such as Bitcoin) and what the geeks call distributed hash and crypto ledgers. IIW is for you too.
Next week, I'm planning on being there. I'll be demoing Idno, but also talking all things #indieweb and catching up with developments in the identity community.
Kaliya facilitates great events, and although I'm less personally familiar with the other organizers, I know they are very well-respected in the community. It should be fun. And if you're in the Bay Area on May 6-8 next month, it's not too late to join us!

Trying to decide if I can justify the #IIW entry fee this time around.
