A quick note before it fades from memory: three of the best talks at DIDW 2005 were Kim Cameron’s summary of the Seven Laws of Identity; Jamie Lewis’s annual state-of-the-industry appraisal; and Scott Cantor’s overview of the Shibboleth effort. Kim and Scott also both received DIDW Pioneer awards of which they are richly deserving.

I also had a chance to get to know Johannes Ernst, who blogged a good writeup of the tech details of Microsoft’s InfoCard initiative (as good as we’re likely to get until the dev docs start coming out.)

Now, back to the job of actually building the interoperable identity infrastructure we all so badly want.
