This is fantastic news! Dick Hardt, superstar of the internet Identity community, just announced he’ll be joining Microsoft. Besides having followed his work on the Internet, I had the luck of meeting with Dick during last spring’s IIW. He was giving a session about how to decouple users from the risk of losing…
[Dear loyal readers, be warned: this post will contain some identity, but it is more about “pure” architecture & cloud services] On a flight Honolulu-Seattle; vacation is over, and I’m back to sharing with you my wild thoughts (ok, not ALL of my wild thoughts :-)). Have you noticed how people tend to…
Few weeks ago the good guys at the IDPeople magazine interviewed me on the topic of identity & cloud computing: you can access the text online or the pdf here (requires free registration). During IDWorld they also recorded a brief video about my session on the same theme, but I don’t know…

You know, I don’t watch videos too often. I absolutely love them, but the level of attention they require is something that I rarely have the luxury of conceding: plus I really miss many things that I can easily get when reading text, such as varying the speed & depth or full text…
The week after TechEd EMEA I am traveling to Italy, where I’ll give a session about identity & cloud services at the ID World conference. The ID World is a pretty different event from the ones I am used to speak for: there is a strong emphasis on physical authentication, and its delegates…
Immediately after IDWorld I will fly to Malmö, Sweden, where I will present a session "Identity & Cloud Services" for the Architecture track of Øredev 2008. Øredev is a big developer conference, one of the most important for the Scandinavian countries: this is definitely a technical audience, which which I won’t hesitate to…
I barely picked my luggage from the belt in SeaTac, and I already have to check it in. Next week the show moves to Barcelona, to TechEd EMEA 2008: there will be *a lot* of sessions about identity (yours truly is currently scheduled to deliver 3 of them), with a lot of people…
