VRM Day 2013a

VRM Days are always scheduled on the Monday prior to IIW, which always happens on Tuesday-Thursday at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. This next IIW will be on 7-9 May, so this next VRM Day will be on 6 May.

VRM Days are for planning what we'll be working on at IIW. Here is a preliminary roster of topics:

• Personal Clouds in general
• Interoperability mapping
• How to get 4th parties interested in verticals, e.g. health care, government, retail) "Medicine cabinet" instead of wallets

• Legal Hacks & License harmonization
• Wallets & apps for transactions, photos, etc. Bitcoin as a VRM money clip, safe deposit box... (see session from the last IIW)
