DomainKeys draft specification. Jeremy Zawodny notes that Yahoo's DomainKeys proposal is now public. Here's the Internet-Draft; here's the blog chatter as seen by Technorati. ... [Jon's Radio]

Looks interesting, workable, and Yahoo! seemed to have done the right thing in making it open and freely implementable.

I've just posted the outcomes & transcript of the first online meeting for the Social Tools for Enterprises Symposium.  I think I have everyone's permission for this (it would have been so much easier if I'd got it while we were all online).

The second meeting will be on Friday at 9am PST, 12pm EST, 5pm BST, 6pm CET and will be held in #kmtalk and #kmbackchat.  Trying to do everything in one channel proved challenging.  Next time we are going to try and use two channels and see how that goes.

ID card backlash: is the poll tax effect kicking in?. Large numbers prepared for demos, even prison By John Lettice . [The Register]

The governments ID card scheme will, inevitably, lead to compuslory requirement to carry backed by prison & fines.  It will inevitably lead to us registering our changes of address backed by prison & fines.  It will inevitably lead to large central databases holding information about us which will be inaccurate & poorly managed.  It will inevitably lead to corruption and malpractice.  It will have minimal positive impact in the areas the government will claim.  It will also cost us a fortune to install and maintain.  This is, after all, what government is all about.

Met with Torben Anderson yesterday for a very agreeable drink in his local pub.  We chatted about how social tools (people tools and software tools) are going to be important in making knowledge management more valuable to organisations.  Torben has a great philosophy about keeping projects practical and delivering client value quickly - this is very much in tune with our own people centred approach.

Yesterday at various times around the world we held an IRC chat in the #kmtalk channel to get started organising an event in London in July (July 12th it now transpires).  The working title is 'Social Tools for Enterprises' and the event is aimed to be a practical get go for CxO's in Enterprises as to how social tools & methods can help them with problems like insufficient collaboration, low innovation and unmanaged risk.

This first session was really a chance to ensure that everyone had a similar vision of what we want to achieve and to get some vital details like the date sorted.  Over the next couple of days we'll be working on the programme and there is another chat planned for Friday (details will be on the wiki soon).

Everyone with an interest is welcome to join the next IRC chat and get involved.
