The cur\u00adrent weath\u00ader fore\u00adcast for Van\u00adcouver is sunny and warm (into the high 20s; around 80 F) mak\u00ading it a pretty good place to be right now. All the garden\u00aders of course are busy turn\u00ading on the water\u00ading sys\u00adtems, but giv\u00aden Van\u00adcouver also has lots of water this isn\u2019t as much of a prob\u00adlem as in oth\u00ader places. We\u2019re look\u00ading for\u00adward to hav\u00ading a decent sum\u00admer this year, unlike the last one which was basic\u00adally miser\u00adable for most of the time.<\/p>\n
Which makes Van\u00adcouver a pretty good place to be in July: the weath\u00ader is usu\u00adally superb, sunny and warm but not too hot, life reas\u00adon\u00adably relaxed, the sea\u00adwall and beaches full but not over\u00adflow\u00ading. Just the right time of year for stand\u00adards com\u00admit\u00adtee meet\u00adings! I\u2019ve hos\u00adted DOM<\/span> WG<\/span> meet\u00adings in Van\u00adcouver in August, with par\u00adti\u00adcipants enjoy\u00ading the com\u00adbin\u00ada\u00adtion of effect\u00adive work and a bit of tour\u00adist\u00ading. If you\u2019re look\u00ading for an excuse to vis\u00adit Van\u00adcouver, now\u2019s your chance \u2014 not only is the Liberty Alli\u00adance<\/a> hold\u00ading one of its quarterly spon\u00adsors meet\u00adings in July (the week of July 17th, to be pre\u00adcise), it\u2019s also hold\u00ading a con\u00adfer\u00adence jointly with the Inter\u00adnet Iden\u00adtity Work\u00adshop on the Thursday and Fri\u00adday. This will fol\u00adlow the stand\u00adard IIW<\/span> \u201cuncon\u00adfer\u00adence\u201d format, to allow for lots of flex\u00adib\u00adil\u00adity in top\u00adics and speak\u00aders. The attendee list<\/a> is cer\u00adtainly impress\u00adive! I\u2019ll be there for as long as the baby lets me (I assume she\u2019ll be the young\u00adest participant).<\/p>\n Liberty Alli\u00adance non-mem\u00adbers will also be wel\u00adcome to attend the Liberty Alli\u00adance meet\u00ading itself on Tues\u00adday and Wed\u00adnes\u00adday (NDAs will have to be signed). This is the first time that the Liberty Alli\u00adance has opened up a spon\u00adsor meet\u00ading to non-mem\u00adbers in this way; I hope lots of people who are inter\u00adested in iden\u00adtity issues take the oppor\u00adtun\u00adity to find out more about what the Liberty Alli\u00adance does and how it operates.<\/p>\n Regis\u00adtra\u00adtion for both the Open\u00adSpace event and the Liberty meet\u00ading for non-mem\u00adbers is at Iden\u00adtity Open\u00adSpace Regis\u00adtra\u00adtion; early-bird regis\u00adtra\u00adtion is now closed but it\u2019s still cheap\u00ader to register now than onsite.<\/p>\n If you want an altern\u00adat\u00adive set of hotel, res\u00adtaur\u00adant, and tour\u00adism recom\u00admend\u00ada\u00adtions, try the North\u00adern Voice Van\u00adcouver page<\/a> (North\u00adern Voice is the blog\u00adging con\u00adfer\u00adence I help organ\u00adise each year). The Liberty Alli\u00adance meet\u00ading hotel<\/a> is about a block from the North\u00adern Voice con\u00adfer\u00adence location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The cur\u00adrent weath\u00ader fore\u00adcast for Van\u00adcouver is sunny and warm (into the high 20s; around 80 F) mak\u00ading it a pretty good place to be right now.
