Are you going to Web 2.0 Expo? If so, you’ve got to spend some quality time in the Web2Open area of the show.
Chris Messina is back at it again rallying the troops for a BarCamp-style event that O’Reilly is hosting right in Moscone alongside Web 2.0 Expo. The Mashroom should be a fun event a chance for people that want to hack on some things with the brightest of the bright minds in the industry. If you’re at Web 2.0 Expo you should at least stop by and check out the Mashroom.
The OpenID community will be out in full force as well with talks from Brian Ellin and David Recordon about implementing OpenID. Kaliya will also be on hand talking about user-centric identity. Finally, a couple of great folks from AOL are going to be taking a deeper dive into user-centric identity and Web 2.0.
I’ll be there with Mike Graves our new CTO cruising the showroom floor, attending parties and the Mashroom. If you’re in town and want to connect just look for me there … would love to chat with folks about OpenID and the exciting new myOpenID features we’re releasing on Tuesday!

Just to be clear, Tara’s also as involved if not more on the top of the ball with the whole Web2Open thing..! Credit where credit’s due… ;)
Crap!! Sorry Tara! I’m such a jerk!! Grrr!!!
