Hey GeoWankers, I don't talk much here I know - I am more a geowanker groupie - as in hanging out with you all in person is just fun.
I am working on two events that both have relevance but have yet to be attended by a geo oriented delegation. I would personally love to see the 'geo' angle show up in both places. Cause they are unconferences (That are well organized with good facilitation) you are most welcome to show up and participate. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me - my preferred e-mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Kaliya Hamlin http://www.identitywoman.net http://www.unconference.net *Internet Identity Workshop *- We are going into our 6th Conference it is amazing to see this all happen. With OpenID proliferating and the next generation of tools - card selectors etc. being innovated. This is an hands on opportunity to connect with the big companies doing things in this space and all the little startups. All the thought leaders attend. May 12-14 in Mountain View California. http//iiw.idcommons.net Two events that are linked - see the website descriptions for more details *The Data Sharing Workshop*, April 18 - 19 at the SFSU, Downtown Campus. *The Data Sharing Summit*, May 15, at the Computer History Museum. http://datasharingsummit.com/ There is a lot of activity in this space - with the buzz around DataPortability.org (who we are collaborating with). Our first event in this space was in September 2007. Our purpose is to provide gathering spaces in which all parties interested in working on the challenge of data sharing can work together. We create the agenda the day it happens. It is about getting things done and figuring out the tough problems – there is no committee deciding who does or does not get to 'present' it is about breaking up and really diving in figuring out the solutions and building the consensus to get adoption. I thought I would add this one in for fun. * The UnMoney Convergence* is a bit more edgy it it is happening in Seattle http://unmoney.wik.is/ Topics covered will include micro-credit, slow money, local currencies, complementary currencies, time dollars, retail trade exchanges, LETS, state of the art transaction software and hardware technologies, money and spirituality, ecological accounting, social venture and entrepreneurship, monetary theory, value network mapping, equity sharing, energy backed currency, organizational structures, gift economies, and barter.
