Another one to add to the lineup:

I volunteer to give an intro on the broader subject of alternative online identities, in particular, I would spend 5 minutes on:
Alternative Online Identities
1. Who are they?
2. How to respect them - etiquette
3. Why do people make them? (why you might want to)
4. How to create one
In addition, I think the overall session would benefit from a more diverse set of presentations on "Defining the Self in a Virtual World: Online Personas" in general, rather than strictly limiting it to specific "unmaskings". What do people think?
msrogue
Cool. I'd love that.
Ryan can't make it now...so we still need people to step up. :)
C'mon...don't be scared!

I'd be interested in addressing the perspective of integration, living the unmasked life, trying to adjust one's offline life to match the creativity/variety of online personas.

is this an ongoing thing or just today? sounds sort of interesting. not sure i'll be back to the city by 7pm though.
msrogue
It's only today for now...but if it goes well, we may do it again in the future. If you can't be here by 7, that should be fine. We will most likely be gathering and mingling until 7:30 anyway.

I'd be interested in knowing if someone will be recording or summarizing this event.

@veeliam: people are already being asked to 'unmask' in a small public group! They might not want to do so in front of camera!
veeliam
@dotben: good point. I was thinking more audio than video.

raines there is no unmasked life! not in that sense. check out a book called "the presentation of self in everyday life," super core to this conversation.. wish i could be there tonight, great idea
