Members of the Windows Live Team as well as other teams from Microsoft are down at the Internet Identity Workshop (IIW) this week in Mountain View, California, USA. This is the 12th gathering of some of the thought leaders in the internet identity space and it's where many open web standards have been conceived in the past; Open ID v2, OAuth, Activity Streams as well as many others. Here's how the IIW describe the event: The Internet Identity Workshop focuses on “user-centric identity” and trying to solve the technical challenge of how people can manage their own identity across the range of websites, services, companies and organizations that they belong to, purchase from and participate with.
