If you read only one blog post
If you read only one blog post this week, or this month, I recommend this one from Pamela Dingle. I know it’s long, but it is well worth it to read the whole thing. Multiple times.
My favorite lines:
We need a way for communities to form and flourish and decay that is organic. To that end, if you were to ask me what the vision is for any technology that follows the Identity Provider paradigm, I would say that the “why” is so that we can make a system where communities can interact, transact, and relate to each other without the tech getting in the way. This is the ultimate end goal for me - if I didn’t believe that we can build a much better house, I certainly wouldn’t spend so much time perfecting the engineering on a radically new foundation.
I couldn’t agree more.
I've done a variety of things in my career, but always seem to
return to issues of identity and technology. Most of what's written
here will be about such things. I work for Novell, but this is my
personal blog. The views expressed on here are mine alone and do not
necessarily represent the position of my employer.
