Hi Eve, The central theme at the Bay Area meetings last week was self-sovereign identity and emerging standards for a self-sovereign technology stack. The maturation of blockchain-related work in this area is proceeding at lightning speed and federation approaches are being marginalized as a result. I was involved in many sessions involving UMA and blockchains at Rebooting Web of Trust, IIW, and the W3C Verifiable Claims Face2Face. There is a lot of synergistic activity around self-sovereign identity that also links to the self-sovereign aspects of UMA when the AS is a self-sovereign agent supporting one's self sovereign identity. Most of the notes are not posted yet. When they are, I would be happy to lead a review of some of these sessions. Adrian On Tuesday, October 25, 2016, Eve Maler wrote:
