Identity/Department Status/2013-09-13: Difference between revisions

- Persona is designed to eliminate website passwords and empower users to choose their own identity online.

- It's long term goal is to become a standardized and browser-native means of decentralized authentication on the Internet.

- Persona now works in environments without popups, including Chrome for iOS and Mobile Internet Explorer on Windows Phone.

- Prototyped support for cross-domain SSO, in response to feedback from Webmaker and other users.

- Prototyped support for passing an email hint from the originating webpage into the Persona dialog, paving the way for a seamless transition into the Persona dialog from a website login form.

- Many bug fixes, visual improvements, and tweaks to copy.

- 25 participants vs 158 sign ups

-- I think this is unfortunately a  reality of the free events happening in the Bay Area, a huge gap between  sign ups and show ups. One feedback we got yesterday was that the start time was too early. So we'll start the next event later and see if it changes the turnout rate positively.

- Various interest levels observed.  There were attendees who already half way implemented Persona, and  those who wanted to get to hacking and trying implementing right away, while some others just wanted to learn what it is.

- Different backgrounds: public health, education, payments, Internet of Things.

- Different titles: developers as well as startup co-founders, technology consultants.

- A member of the NSTIC IDESG attended, asked relevant questions, and encouraged Mozilla to join the IDESG and attend IIW.

-The event can be viewed via Air Mozilla https://air.mozilla.org/persona-sf-meet-up/

- PiCL is a project whose short term goal is to fix Firefox sync.   

- The long term goal to give users easy access to their Firefox  data from any device.

- PiCL the name is about the long term goal of PiCL - it stands for Profile in the CLoud. Which is to say we're going to take the interesting data in your  Firefox Profile and move it to the cloud - make it possible to access  and manage this data from web apps, mobile apps, and all of our  products  - Mobile, Desktop, and OS.

- We are building Firefox Account creation into the first-time use (FTU) on FirefoxOS.  When users unbox their phones, they will provide an email and password. From this, we will create a Firefox Account for them that will give them an identity for use with Marketplace and future cross-device services, like synchronization of bookmark, history, password, and contacts data.  Additionally, we will provide an account management app where users can revise their account settings.
