Re: Introductions (was Re: First 2023 SWICG meeting call on Fri May 19)

Hi SWICG,

Sorry to miss the first meeting on May 19.  Will there be future meetings
on Fridays at 9 am EST / 6 am Pacific / 3 pm CET?

A quick self introduction:  I am Harrison Tang
<https://www.linkedin.com/in/tangtalks/>, the Co-Founder and CEO of Spokeo
<https://www.spokeo.com/>, the first social network aggregator back in 2006
and currently a leading people intelligence service in the US.  I also
serve as the current co-chair of W3C Credentials Community Group, which
incubated Verifiable Credentials, Decentralized Identity, and other open
standards.  Needless to say, I am very interested in identity, social, and
data technologies, and I've been following SWICG threads in the past six
months.  I would love to see how I could help contribute to open social
technologies in the future.

Sincerely,
Harrison
