Starting immediately, I have switched focuses and roles at IBM. I am excited to be the technical lead for the IBM CIO Technology & Innovation organization’s new Security Innovations Team. After spending the past eight years championing and developing social networking and syndication technologies, it’s time for a change of focus. The new team will focus on innovating new projects relating to a variety of security issues including identity, privacy, authentication, audit, cloud security, etc. Security has always been an underdeveloped passion of mine and I’m quite looking forward to the new opportunities. Unfortunately, this pretty much means that my ability to focus on social networking and syndication technologies is going to go into severe decline over the coming months.
The Atom Tombstones draft had expired. As requested by several members of the Atom syntax mailing list, I have revitalized the draft.
