[Social-discuss] Social & Identity & Open & Death + events

[Kaliya]

Hi GNU Social folks, 

 I wanted to remind you the Internet Identity Workshop (@idworkshop), that several folks on this list will be participating and it is just 2 weeks away May 17-19th.   We already shifted to late registration pricing but if you use the discount code: GNUSocial  it will give you regular pricing for another week until end day May 10th.  We also have one day tickets now on sale.  

I am also putting on an event just after IIW - Digital Death Day (@digitaldeathday)- focused on all aspects of what happens to someone's online life after they die. 

Here are descriptions and links to both of these events & three other identity & privacy related events between now and August.   Please spread the word to others who who would be interested & please forgive me on the cross posting I felt it was important to spread the word far and wide.  

Let me know if you have any questions. 

Regards,

Kaliya Hamlin - Identity Woman,  @identitywoman

Smart phones, social networking and the “internet of things” let us integrate the online world and computers more deeply into our lives -- and raise difficult questions, starting with whether we should have to give up our freedom and privacy in to reap the benefits of a constant connection to friends and information.
