Notably Absent from Web2.0
Came across this useful review of the recent Web2.0 conference on Kaliya's Identity Woman blog - "saving the world with user-centric identity - Identity 2.0 for Web 2.0 and beyond."
Notably Absent
Discussion of the open source platforms like Drupal that are major parts of Web 2.0 (the people collaborating) and the communities of developers and small businesses around them. I guess cause they are open source and they don’t have thousands to shell out the Tim and John they don’t rate. Hopefully we can do a conference with the cool kids building open source ecologies.
I believe she's had dealings with Drupal before.
Not sure who the Tim and John refers to, but I hope they had a good time....
Thanks
Simon

My guess is that
Tim is O'Reilly.
