City Hall
Our principal export is authenticity
Welcome to Osmio City Hall
We provide the essential ingredient of duly constituted public authority to Osmio's principal export, which is Authenticity.
Certification of an individual's identity by professionals who are duly licensed by our Vital Records Department is your assurance that people are who they say they are.
A valid occupancy permit issued by our Buildings Department is your assurance that an online space's code is thoroughly audited, is in conformance with current building codes, and that properly licensed architectural, construction, and building inspection professionals have taken responsibility for it.
How far along is Osmio in its development?
While we make progress every day, creating an infrastructure that solves for its users all of the major problems with the world's information infrastructure is a huge undertaking. Osmio today provides an increasingly complete roadmap to Authenticity, but it's still more of a roadmap than a working infrastructure.
One entity is still missing... one entity that will make it real.
That entity is you.
Take a good look around, and ask yourself: how important is fixing the world's information infrastructure? If you feel that existing levels of security and privacy and authenticity on the Net are sufficient, then thanks for stopping by.
If on the other hand, you'd like to be part of building a truly workable solution to the problems suffered by users of the world's information infrastructure – that is, the Internet – then step right up!
What aspect of Authenticity is of particular interest to you? Whatever it is, you'll find an office for the group that's addressing it - and they'd be delighted to have you participate! Most of the work to be done calls for good judgment and common sense at least as much as technological prowess.
Your developer community looks forward to working and building with you!
