Authentication panel
Tomorrow I’m hosting a panel about authentication at our local web-related talks. To make thing a bit more interesting I invited more than just coders and security experts – we have a designer and a usability expert on the podium. I think the whole talk will be enlightening to everyone, since hardly anyone knows all the areas covered by our panelists.
I’ll introduce the panelists here in more detail:
Ozren Škondrič is a friend who dedicated a big part of his life to designing web interfaces. He uses a bunch of web based services and applications and is probably the person who filled the most registration forms amongst all the people I know.
Duška Mervar is probably the most famous around here for a great booklet about writing for the web which a lot of people don’t respect enough. As an expert for the user perspective I’m sure she’ll show us a new meaning to serving customers based on their personal preferences.
Tomaž Cerar works at the same company I do – Parsek. He is a coauthor of the infamous CP2 platform – a Java based CMS system we use and also the lead developer of many e-commerce sites we created.
Marko Perme works on e-banking and e-insurance and other e-solutions for one of the biggest Slovenian IT companies – Hermes Softlab. They created and support a few of the biggest and the most used e-service platforms in the country.
The moment is right for us to reflect on what the internet knows about us and to think about what we want from it. The panelists will help us understand what the trends in this area are and shed some light on the matter that is becoming one of the most important problems of the current wave of web services and applications.

[...] My first panel – about authentication – went surprisingly well. Surprisingly because as many have told me before the panel (but after the announcement) the panelists were a bit “exotic”. [...]
