Where's Fen....

So I pinged Fen the other day with a slashdot link to news about the Higgins Project and Fen, of course, helps them with a wiki!

Fen sent back some other cool links, like where he spent the day. Here was Fen.

Why is this important to you? Fen works on OpenPrivacy and OpenID to bring an Open standards to Identity management that both let you be identified where ever you "go" on the internet, yet retain privacy. It's a fundamental technology to the next generation of the internet - and it must be done in way to protect our civil liberties. The technology is actually quite complex and involves encryption, P2P networking, etc. so if you have any questions... better ask Fen. (It might be "on the wiki" though)

Here I am

Heh - I was so busy writing my workshop review post I failed to notice Jonathan's (though I had given him the green light to write something - apologies for the conflict).

To be fair to Higgins, I don't run their wiki, but I do operate two that are associated with the intersection of Higgins and IdentityCommons/OpenID: Identity Schemas and The Identity Gang.

BTW: you might want to see why they named their trust framework "Higgins".
