My Talk at MakerCon
I'm giving a talk at MakerCon on 5/13.
The topic is "A Strategy for Getting QS Apps to Interoperate".
Ok. It's not the best title. It used to be even worse: "Disruptive Standards as a tool to facilitate data interoperability in the quantified self app ecosystem". Longer than the 20 minutes of the talk...
But it's an interesting idea, or at least I think so.
It drafts off a thought I blogged about in this post some years ago. Gist of the argument is that a certain kind of standard -- which I call "disruptive", after Clay Christensen's "disruptive technologies" meme -- actually aid in ecosystem coalescence. The standards need to be not-too-strict, but strict-enough.
I'm a big Quantified Self junkie, and it seems like an ecosystem in need of assistance coalescing, so I wanted to workshop my ideas with (hopefully) sympatico minds in the room.

If you're around and so minded, please join me.
