Privacy and Identity in a Internet Age

Unlimited Potential heads UP: For those of you interested in the topics of Identity and Privacy in todays' digital, connected Internet world... we give you the Internet Identity + Mobile BarCamp, hosted at the State Services Commission.

The focus of this Barcamp is a User-Centric Identity, the emergent Identity Meta-system and identity at large covering all the topics under it.
Basically working a solution to the problems around who gets to see your information, and an end to endless form filling on website signups.

The vision is to leverage the early leadership the State Services Commission (SSC) has taken in providing the Government Logon Service (and other planned services) plus the "smallness" of NZ to take a global leadership position in digital identity. Lets get Identity 2.0 (or 3.0) working here in NZ!

What makes it even more of a key event is the focus it could bring to the Managing Identity in New Zealand conference being held at Te Papa. The barcamp, like all barcamps is a way to participate in the emerging technology.

The informal, self organising event will consist of quality presentations and discussions involving people with experience in this area and a great opportunity to network with others in this space. Anyone can participate, and often provide a great insight into the real world problem, and help nut out some solutions.

In essence, to quote barcamp.org.nz:

NO SPECTATORS, ONLY PARTICIPANTS

If you are not learning or contributing it is your responsibility to respectfully find some place where you are. This is known as the Law-of-Two-Feet. Overall Barcamps are governed by these basic principles.

Whoever comes are the right people.
Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.
Whenever it starts is the right time.
Whenever it is over it is over.

A barcamp can be a bit scary - but by the end of the day you'll be totally at home, and keen for the next...

The barcamp will run the afternoon of Friday 25th April and Saturday 26th April 2008. It is a free event, but do register your interest on the Barcamp page.

Managing Identity in New Zealand :: Identity Conference 2008

Sponsored by Victoria University of Wellington, State Services Commission,
Department of Internal Affairs and igovt

Te Papa Tongarewa
Wellington, New Zealand: 29-30 April 2008

IdentityConference.Victoria.ac.NZ

This international conference on “Managing Identity in New Zealand: Identity Conference 2008" is a forum for presenting and discussing state of the art thinking, research and practice around managing identity in the 21st Century. The conference will focus on the development and future directions of identity management (IdM) in New Zealand, and its wider implications for users, with particular reference to the introduction and use of new digitised forms of IdM. A major issue for future IdM will be establishing user-centric IdM: individuals’ ability to control the (digital) representation of their identity and its potential uses.
