OSCON 2010

Diese Woche war die OSCON 2010 wie jedes Jahr waren wieder viele interessante Leute da, viele interessante Projekte und viele großartige Vorträge. Wie jedes Jahr war ich nicht dabei. Irgendwann muss ich wirklich mal ein Jahr in den USA leben und zu all diesen coolen Konferenzen gehen. Naja, immerhin konnte man auch aus der Ferne folgen und viele gute  Vorträge nachlesen und Videos ansehen. Hier meine Favoriten. Zuerst natürlich die Rede von Tim O’Reilly:

Thinking Hard About the Future

Is Your Data Free? from Stormy Peters (GNOME Foundation)
Presentation: Is Your Data Free_ Presentation [PDF]

We worried about making sure we had free and open source software to use, we worried about privacy, we worried about user rights. And then we handed the keys to our data to “free” web services. How can we ensure that our data is in the hands of web services that will respect our rights? How can free and open source software ideals be applied to web services?

Open Government – San Francisco from  Dave Geller (City and County of San Francisco)
Presentations: Open Government – San Francisco Presentation [ODP],
Open Government – San Francisco Presentation 1 [PPT]

In this session members of the Emerging Technologies group for the City and County of San Francisco will discuss open government and open source initiatives enacted in 2009/2010.

Open Identity for Open Government from Don Thibeau (OpenID Foundation)
Presentation: Open Identity for Open Government Presentation [PPTX]

Citizen involvement via online interactions requires trust: trust by citizens that their identity data is protected by government websites, and trust by government websites that private data is accessed only by the citizen. This talk describes the Open Identity Framework created to meet government certification requirements while meeting the privacy requirements of citizens and private industry.
