The Liberty Alli\u00adance<\/a> quarterly spon\u00adsors meet\u00ading was in Van\u00adcouver this week, so even though I\u2019m still offi\u00adcially on mater\u00adnity leave, I decided to attend as much as I could (baby allow\u00ading). It was worth\u00adwhile going, the baby was a little fussy but slept through enough of the time that I could take part in some of the meet\u00ading, although I will admit there was one time while I was watch\u00ading a pre\u00advi\u00adously fussy baby lie on the chan\u00adging mat in the ladies, wav\u00ading her legs and arms and gurg\u00adling hap\u00adpily at the sight of the under-basin plumb\u00ading, when I wondered wheth\u00ader I should be at home instead. That \u201cwhy am I here\u201d feel\u00ading passed once she let her\u00adself be put in the sling so I could go back to the meeting.<\/p>\n

The Liberty meet\u00ading itself seemed to go well from what I saw, quite a few people took advant\u00adage of it being opened up to non-mem\u00adbers to observe and par\u00adti\u00adcip\u00adate, at least in the meet\u00adings I was in. It\u2019s always hard for new people to really take part, but I think this exper\u00adi\u00adment was successful.<\/p>\n

The Iden\u00adtity Open\u00adSpace<\/a> meet\u00ading, jointly pro\u00adduced by the Liberty people and some people from the Inter\u00adnet Iden\u00adtity Work\u00adshop, was sched\u00aduled for the Thursday and Fri\u00adday after the Liberty meet\u00ading. Lots of people stayed over for this, lots more came spe\u00adcific\u00adally for the meet\u00ading. I did\u00adn\u2019t see every\u00adone on the list of attendees<\/a> that I knew, but that\u2019s prob\u00adably at least in part because the baby melted down in a big way in the early after\u00adnoon on Thursday so I had to take her home, and decided mak\u00ading her take in a fourth day of meet\u00adings and present\u00ada\u00adtions on Fri\u00adday would be too much for all con\u00adcerned. Still, she slept through Jane Win\u00adn\u2019s Leg\u00adal Basics<\/a>, lunch, and Robin Wilton\u2019s Pri\u00advacy and ID<\/span> Theft<\/a> before throw\u00ading her wobbly, so I got to par\u00adti\u00adcip\u00adate to some extent.<\/p>\n

Jane\u2019s present\u00ada\u00adtion, as usu\u00adal, was ter\u00adrif\u00adic. She\u2019s quick to grasp the cent\u00adral points of issues, her talks are always thought-pro\u00advok\u00ading and suit\u00adably cyn\u00adic\u00adal, and I was glad to be able to attend it, and also glad she took part in the Liberty meet\u00ading before the IOS<\/span> event. Robin is also a deep thinker whose blog<\/a> often por\u00adtrays things in a dif\u00adfer\u00adent way to the gen\u00ader\u00adally accep\u00adted dogma; he\u2019s part of the group I\u2019m in at Sun, and I think we\u2019re lucky to have him there.<\/p>\n

The IOS<\/span> did seem to go well from what I saw and heard<\/a>, bring\u00ading togeth\u00ader people with dif\u00adfer\u00adent exper\u00adi\u00adences, know\u00adledge, and view\u00adpoints. Kaliya Ham\u00adlin organ\u00adised it and ensured people doc\u00adu\u00admented the ses\u00adsions on the wiki<\/a>. This goes some way to neg\u00adat\u00ading one of the chief unavoid\u00adable prob\u00adlems of this format \u2014 that there are often things going on in par\u00adal\u00adlel that I\u2019d like to attend.<\/p>\n

Kaliya put up a sign encour\u00adaging people to con\u00adtrib\u00adute or learn, or go where they could con\u00adtrib\u00adute or learn, and I hope that those who sat there quietly, not con\u00adtrib\u00adut\u00ading, will con\u00adtrib\u00adute what they learned some\u00adplace else in the future. Iden\u00adtity man\u00adage\u00adment, with all its rami\u00adfic\u00ada\u00adtions of pri\u00advacy, secur\u00adity, and the user exper\u00adi\u00adence, is a com\u00adplic\u00adated issue and affects all of us and the more people talk about the issues and try to come togeth\u00ader on solu\u00adtions, the bet\u00adter. I think this meet\u00ading helped with that and it\u2019ll be inter\u00adest\u00ading to see what comes out of it. Right now I\u2019m an out\u00adside observ\u00ader until my mater\u00adnity leave is over but I\u2019m already look\u00ading for\u00adward to par\u00adti\u00adcip\u00adat\u00ading lots when the baby allows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
