And as you can see, his piece is titled &#8220;<strong>The Identity Metasystem<\/strong>&#8220;. It tells the whole Identity Gang story in the way only Doc can do.  I sure wish I could write like that!  Of course I always wanted to skate like Wayne Gretzky too.  Not likely any time soon!<\/p>\n<p>The kicker reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=ltr style=\"MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px\">\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Can a free market in identity systems emerge from a confusing array of vendor-specific silos?

But it must be evident to all that he has really put his reputation on the line to push identity into <strong>fast forward<\/strong>.  I love the way he approaches things.<\/p>\n<p>I sure hope I can live up to the belief Doc, Craig and others have placed in me. I&#8221;ll certainly keep plugging away at this with all my friends and colleagues across the industry until we get this thing built &#8211; redefining the future Internet in a way that gives its inhabitants the kind of identity capabilities they want and need in the different aspects of their lives.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#39;t think anyone could have contemplated Linux Journal running an article like this a year ago.  Is it a bizarre historical anomaly, or a sea change? Who can tell?  But there is a deep conversation happening.  And there is optimism.  That feeling we had when personal computers were first explosively announcing the new digital era. <\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"A picture named 2005-os-awards2.jpg\" hspace=15 src=\"https:\/\/www.identityblog.com\/images\/2005\/08\/15\/2005-os-awards2.jpg\" align=right vspace=5 border=0> While I&#39;m on the subject of Doc, he just won a prestegious Google O&#39;Reilly Communicator <a href=\"http:\/\/google.blognewschannel.com\/index.php\/archives\/2005\/08\/03\/doc-searls-wins-googleoreilly-open-source-award\/\" class=\"broken_link\">award<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Communicator<\/strong>: Internet pioneer <a href=\"http:\/\/doc.weblogs.com\/\" class=\"broken_link\">Doc Searls<\/a>, co-author of &#8220;The Cluetrain Manifesto&#8221; and a Senior Editor for Linux Journal.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway &#8211; pick up Doc&#39;s Linux Journal article (not available online).
