Oasis Open Standards Forum in London

At the end of September and beginning of October, OASIS is holding a very important forum in London.

I am on the Program Management Committee for this forum which has an apt theme "Security Challenges for the Information Society".

Gerry Gebel from Burton, an analyst I envy and a good friend (ok, or a person I know) is one of the Keynote speakers.

So if you are going to be in the region around that time, this forum is for you.

I am pretty excited about this forum because it not only covers all the advances in the Federated Identity Space, but also some of my favourite topics such as E-Gov Security, Browsers Security, Healthcare Security, Key Management and Access Control.

Gerry's Bio:
