Discussion of major takeaways from the Internet Identity Workshop.
- Phil Feairheller said that one of the major benefits was attendees being able to meet each other. Drummond completely agreed.
- Phil said that there were a lot of conversation about KERI and ACDC on the first day that did not include the KERI and ACDC members. But the second and third day those conversations "came around again" to include folks from other projects that were now discussing how they could incorporate KERI and ACDC.
- This lead to a session held on the third day jointly hosted by Samuel Smith and Markus Sabadello called Building a Tunnel to the KERI Beautiful Island.
- This session showed many examples of how to put a "KERI tunnel" into any DID document using a new type of service endpoint. This can work with almost any DID method — Markus showed examples with a half-dozen well-known DID methods.
- The GLEIF team also announced they are working on a project called CESROX that will be a Rust for CESR.
- Drummond Reed said he felt that session was the one that finally convinced a number of developers was something they could realistically start using very soon.
- Phil summarized that the entire GLEIF team, including CEO Stephan Wolf, attended and gave a total of 12 sessions.
- Drummond said that his impression was that it made a big difference for IIW attendees to see the depth and breadth of the vLEI infrastructure work, including the vLEI Ecosystem Governance Framework.
- Andre Kudra shared that he was part of discussions where folks were surprised that GLEIF has put so much effort into a tech stack that—so far—no one else is using (which is why Drummond called it the Beautiful Island problem).
