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.
The DataPortability: In Motion Podcast was a series of roundtable discussions about the DataPortability Project in specific, and efforts involved in data portability in general. The series of 13 episodes were produced and hosted by J. Trent Adams and Steve Greenberg.

In keeping with this open spirit, I’ve set up a DataPortabilty Project podcast feed. Included are the first two Steering Group teleconferences, as well as a recent podcast by Christian Scholz.
You can subscribe via the DataPortability Project Podcasts feed at FeedBurner. I’ve also registered the feed with iTunes, but as of this writing it’s still in their review queue. Within the next few days you should be able to search for it.
Podcasters: Toss me a note if you’ve done a podcast episode you’d like to see included in this feed. I’d like to see it used as an aggregator of podcasts related to the DataPortability Project in specific, and data portability in general.
