One may attribute this to the age old problem of identity frauds and related security vulnerabilities on the Internet. One may further worry that the rise of AI will dramatically increase this risk and even overrun the Internet altogether without mitigation in a fundamental level. One may also see it as an inevitable consequences of 'de-globalization' or 'fragmentation' which sows distrust and threatens to undo many of the progress we had made in the past two plus decades. The Linux Foundation's Executive Director Jim Zemlin highlighted this challenge during the LFDT member summit last year, then re-emphasized it again during the LF member summits in the fall last year and again this spring in 2025. This is a followup to that "Call to Action" to a First Person Project. A decentralized First Person developer ID system is one of the things we can do in the open source infrastructure level, i.e. the fundamental ways of practice that we know as open source, to meet this challenge. In this session, we will examine the issues, discuss the First Person Project and solution approaches, and update the community its progress.
