Mark Johnson may be called the chief of the RFID Tribe as well as a founder. Johnson formed the RFID Tribe two years ago on the principle that members collaborate and help each other in the emerging technology of RFID. That's according to Johnson, whom I met in March at the RFID World event (see A first read on RFID World 2006 where we met by chance over lunch. His motivation for spearheading RFID Tribe? "I'm passionate about technology and technologists," he responds.
To me, the organization can be likened to our industry's Institute of Packaging Professionals, only with an RFID focus. Members come from such companies as Coca-Cola, P&G, Schering-Plough, Tesco, Unilever, and Wal-Mart. Johnson's responses to our questions follow.
