Hey Bill -- Russ DeVeau with Liberty Alliance here -- been about two
years since we've chatted. I wanted to make sure you received a
personal invitation to the Liberty 2.0 event we're holding on the
22nd. This free event (with lunch served) is designed for developers
building identity-based applications and business and government
representatives deploying or moving to deploy identity-based
services. There's a focus on convergence and open source, with the
goal of delivering better security, privacy and interoperability
across identity-based applications. Hope you can make it -- feel free
to pass this invite to others as appropriate. Thanks, Bill. -- Russ
