Why Googlers come to IIW
This is a Guest Post from Eric Sachs from Google:
Google’s participation in Internet Identity Workshop (IIW) has grown from it founding in 2005 from a few lone individuals to the last IIW where we sent 15 googlers. The reason for this that Google has started to provide more APIs and developer tools for our application hosting business, we have found that standards for identity and security on the Internet are critical. We send engineers to talk about standards such as OAuth, OpenSocial, OAuth, SAML, Portable Contacts, as well as longer term trends around discovery, malware, phishing, and stronger authentication.
We expect to have a similar sized group at IIW this year to discuss these topics, and more. We will be sponsoring one of the breaks on each of the days to make sure people get enough sugary and health snacks to keep them going through the rest of the sessions!
We hope that other companies and individuals working in these areas will register to attend to IIW8 – 2009a soon, and start building momentum for another great IIW unconference! If you have not attended IIW in the past, but did attend either the Facebook hosted UX summit in Feb 2009 or the Yahoo hosted UX summit in Oct 2009, then you should definitely attend IIW to join in further discussions on those topics.
Google attendees: Dirk Balfanz, Nathan Beach, Breno de Medeiros, Cassie Doll, Brian Eaton, Ben Laurie, Kevin Marks, Betsy Masiello, John Panzer, Eric Sachs, and more to come
