What started as an innocent research project into the communities related to the DataPortability Project has taken on a life of its own. While chatting with pioneering leaders in the portable data space, I realized the conversations may be valuable for others to hear as well.
The concept was well received, but some folks suggested a more formalized structure would be helpful. Enter Steve Greenberg and we bounced around a few ideas, coming up with what we’re calling the “DataPortability: In-Motion Podcast“. We’ll produce a show a week, leading with a few short news snippets, and a long format discussion with one or more guests working in and around the portable data world.
In this espisode of the DataPortability: In-Motion Podcast, Trent and Steve chat with Kingsley Idehen, CEO of OpenLink Software, about his views of data portability and accessibility.
Leading the episode, a brief news update on:
- Microsoft Announces Contact List Portability
- Magnolia Requiring OpenID
- Tribe.net Shuts Down FOAF Support
- Ringside Networks Launched
- XRDS-Simple Released
