Open Standards session at Gnomedex
So I just finished a session at Gnomedex on open standards and I did not ONCE mention PeopleAggregator.
So I definitely fit to the requirements of the discussion leaders - which was to NOT bring in any commercial plugs into my session .
I used Events, Attention, value added features and data formats as topics - and had a few impassioned comments from the crowd.
But in general - it was one of those “preaching to the choir” sessions - where nobody would stand up for and argue AGAINST being open. One guy did ask me to kind of spell out WHY being closed is bad - but that’s about it.
So it’s agreed - being open is important.
Now I just wonder why Kevin Werbach, Rael Dornfest and others never ask me to come and talk about open standards at thier conferences? Maybe because their sponsors don’t wanna hear about it?
Hmmmmm
Well that won’t stop me fromtalking about it.
Personally, I thought the dicussion could of been more useful if we talked about successful open standards, for example, HTTP with its success, and look at how to take that into new areas.

Props to you for not pumping your new co. at a conference session.
There is NOTHING that pisses me off more than paying good money to go to a conference only to get a product sales pitch at each session. That is what plagued industry conferences in the late 90’s and early millennium. After just launching a new co. there is a stress factor that would incline anyone to do use the forum as a chance to pump your company. The fact that you didn’t says a lot about you, and it shows respect for your audience.
