#introduction
I am an open data access (#ODBC, #JDBC, and #HTTP), integration (#DataVirtualization), and data management (#DBMS and/or #KnowledgeGraph) technologist, enthusiast, and entrepreneur.

I am passionate about open standards for #Identity#Authenticity, #SocialMedia (#ActivityPub & #ActivityStreams), and data de-silo-fication initiatives (e.g. #SemanticWeb, #LODCloud, #LinkedData, #RWW, and #SmallData).

I don't like any kind of silo!

@mizkirsten @fediforum#FediForum is an unconference, so we don't really know what people may or may not have in the works.... but I often reach out to people who said up-front what they want to discuss, as here :-)

Do you have a particular #identity requirement you are trying to get solved?

In one video, Bethany Kozma, a #conservative activist & fmr deputy chief of staff at the US Agency for International Development [#USAID] in the #Trump admin, downplays the seriousness of #ClimateChange & says the movement to combat it is really part of a ploy to “control people.”

“If the American people elect a conservative president, his administration will have to eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere,” Kozma says.

In the video, Kozma calls the idea of #gender fluidity “evil.” Another speaker, Katie Sullivan, who was an acting asst AG at the #DOJ under #Trump, takes aim at executive actions by the admin of President #Biden that created gender adviser positions throughout the #federal govt. The goal, Biden wrote in one order, was to “advance #EqualRights & opportunities, regardless of gender or gender #identity.”
