All,
I has a call with Chris Mackie of Mellon this afternoon, who is trying to help a set of learned societies form their own collaboration environments that exploit "web 2.0" tools, without a dependency on stodgy academic orgs that don't touch this stuff or campuses that don't see the grant dollars in such groups. Very early in their proposal process, looking for, it turns out, the comanage vm appliance, likely in a cloud environment. Two things that Chris pressed me on were the international interfederation peering, since these societies are very international, and provisioning capability inside comanage for accounts, in case a large number of users are not in federated institutions (though all are academics and will soon be in those federated clutches...). Chris will likely funnel these groups initially through Bamboo.
The action item on this is for Tom to continue to touch base with Chad regularly, and for Chad to know such an appliance will be out there if there is a knock on his door...
Ken
