Violent agreement breaks out at Internet of Subjects Forum

On the morning of July 5th I had breakfast with Iain Henderson and David Alexander of Mydex. And then, within 5 minutes of walking in to the IoS meeting I met Serge, Sampo and Graham. Between meeting them on the one hand and the breakfast on the other I knew the whole trip was worthwhile. It’s a great pleasure to spend time with people who share the vision of giving individuals more control over their own personal data. We all had a chance to share what we’re all learning about creating Personal Data Stores, VRM (TRM?), user managed identity, data portability, etc.

Check out Internet of Subjects. This is a new effort that deserves our support. I particularly like the fact that it’s not based in the (privacy-challenged) US. The effort is being indirectly supported by EU investments in TAS3, a project that I’m only now learning about.

Here’s a quote from Graham Sadd’s post about the IoS meeting:

Serge Ravet, CEO of EIfEL, prefaced the Eifel Learning Forum with the inaugural Internet of Subjects Forum to an international audience in London yesterday. The plenary presentations were made by Sampo Kellomaki, Chief Architect at Symlabs, Graham Sadd, Founder & CEO of PAOGA (read interview) and Paul Trevithick – Founder of Higgins Project and CEO of Azigo.
