6:30 - 7:00: Computer Academy at the Dignity Project | Gene Tysowsky, Dignity
Project Executive Director

The Dignity Project needs volunteers who have computer skills to help bridge
the digital divide in our local community. Gene Tysowsky will speak about
what the Dignity Project is doing and how you can help.

Since its inception in 2003, the Computer Academy has given away more than 700
computer systems to local non-profits, individuals with disabilities, senior
citizens and low-income families. The non-profits receiving our computers
have allowed us to ‘bridge the digital divide’ for more people in our
community and beyond. The volunteers in this program bring their talents in
computer repair and instruction to the agency to assist our clients. They
also take part in developing computer classes for the After School Program.
Our newest computer service is to provide hands-on tutoring to adults in the
area that want to learn to use a computer.

7:00 - 7:50 Presentation - The Implications of OpenID | Simon Wilson (Video
Replay from a Google Presentation)

OpenID is a way for individuals to create identity online and use it anywhere
OpenID is supported. OpenID means the elimination of multiple user names and
passwords and a smoother, more secure, online experience. For businesses,
this means a lower cost of password or account management, the opportunity
for easier and higher numbers of new user registrations and the elimination
of missed transactions because of user frustration with lost and forgotten
passwords.
