Travel Itinerary for ITU-T FG Meeting Well, it’s off to Switzerland this time, with a trip of about 3100 Km, going through Porto -> Geneva -> Lisbon -> Porto. It’s more like 3250 kms, if I throw in the Kms of Aveiro->Porto->Aveiro I took the time of doing a little itinerary image, so i can start making a crow map of all my travels around the world. I hope to get a nice abstract drawing in the end, whenever that is (maybe I’ll do them yearly).

I’m heading to ITU-T in Geneva, to participate in the Focus Group on Identity Management meeting, a group dedicated to Identity Management part of ITU-T Study Group 17. I’m very excited to participate since Identity is a very hot topic, and bears some relevance on my PhD. And it’s actually a quite exciting time to work on Identity, specially with the recent buzz around the Microsoft <-> OpenID collaboration, which is meant to integrate Cardspace and OpenID 2.0. I’m looking forward to seeing the demos that will be shown (Higgings, OpenID, Cardspace), and to take part in the “real” work sessions that are scheduled. Hopefully I will be up to par, and can pitch in with some brain mass. Did i mention I’ll be wearing a suit ?

On a side note, I have another post on my mind - Feisty Fawn. But I’ll save that for later. For now it’s off to put my travel stuff together, load up my PSP, and pack some nice clean underwear.
