Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Caleb Racey <>]

Dear community members ,

 To help illustrate what  grouper can be  used for and what value it delivers 
we have updated the Newcastle university community page to reflect the 
current usage of the service. Hopefully this example will help to illustrate 
the practical problem domains grouper can provide value in.   

Please see the "Update: the service in 2016" section of 
https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Newcastle+University+Introduction

 The grouper service  continues to grow in Newcastle  our thanks to the 
community for producing a system that delivers real benefits.

 On a more personal note I will be leaving the university in a couple of 
weeks' time.  The grouper and wider Internet2 community has been a large part 
 in shaping the last 10 years of my career.  I am thankful to the community 
for  inspiration, advice and great software delivered by good people.  The 
grouper service at Newcastle is being left in the very capable hands of my 
colleagues.  I am confident it will continue to grow and help the university 
to deliver many more services.    I'm leaving to work for the UK's IRS 
equivalent (the HMRC) on identity assurance so I may have the pleasure of 
meeting some of  you  via the Identity assurance / federated identity / 
government / Higher Education communities.  

 A big thank you to the community for all your advice and  help over the 
years.

 Best Regards

 Cal
