[](http://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/314756426/?ref=chrismessina.me)[Austin Hill](http://www.billionswithzeroknowledge.com/?ref=chrismessina.me) designed and produced the copy behind an awesome [ad campaign](http://www.billionswithzeroknowledge.com/about/?ref=chrismessina.me) for a company he started some time ago called [Zero Knowledge](http://zeroknowledge.com/?ref=chrismessina.me). Given today's [IIW](http://iiw.windley.com/wiki/Workshop2006b?ref=chrismessina.me), this seemed an appropriate image to reflect the fact that the tide of identity is finally changing in our favor.

Vey nice campaign and much needed in todays circumstances. I was trying to find a barcamp event in stockholm and realized they dont have one or atleast couldnt find one. With a significant number of jobs created in high technology companies and having Large employers such as IBM, Ericsson, and Electrolux, it is suprising to see that there isnt a Barcamp here. I would be glad if you can let me know how i could go about launching a barcamp here in stockholm. About me .. I have been a developer with over 6 years of experience developing applications in Messaging and B2B healthcare e-procurement. I have worked extensively on C++ and C#. My interest lies in developing reconfigurable UIs (and have previously developed one such implementation where UI was created based on a XML layer)
