COmanage Developers List

[Heather Flanagan <>]

My apology on the dropped call, everyone!  I cancelled the wrong one off my calendar, having gotten confused as to what week it was and which call was happening when.

Folks,
 In the interest of your time and the lack of heather, let's cancel the Friday call and agree to pick it up on the 28th (even though that is just before the member meeting). But there are several things brewing to share via the list:
1. a reminder that we have two sessions at the I2 fall member meeting - monday and wed. It would be good to structure the two sessions - let's do that on the list or on the 28th at the latest.

How about Monday doing a demo and discussion of the collaboration space in general, and wednesday inviting use cases and talking about design?

2. thrilling stuff that michael is doing with the service development, and keeping us informed. in talking with the uninstalled customer base, a foodle type - see when the committee/group can have a special call slot, authenticated not just for security but to change one's preferences later, is a big seller.
3. we are up to four engaged VO's at this point - contact has been reaffirmed with LIGO (a heavy Grouper user getting into federated identity, rather an inverted order) and OOI. There is an NSF OCI subcommittee that I'm on that wants to use it, and I'm talking to the wiki wonk at NSF next week. Lastly, the GENI contract/grant is happening, and it needs a Comanage service early on.

I thought OOI had rather fallen off the planet.  Good to see they are back in being engaged.

4. lastly, what i'm spending too much time on, and what i'll share with you for help in a separate message, is using COmanage as a use case for the Tao workshop. It is a prime candidate for illustrating many different aspects of the attribute ecosystem, but getting that mapped is harder than I can handle.

Tao workshop?
