Information on Internet2 activities in the international arena.

[Christina Siroskey <>]

Greetings colleagues:

Here's a quick note about some international activity in the Middleware 
space.  If you know of other initiatives, collaborations or 
opportunities you'd like to share, please post it to 
.

--------------------------------
To foster the use of the Shibboleth-based Testbed Federation within 
Australian higher education institutions, the Australian Meta Access 
Management System (MAMS) in conjunction with Australia's Department of 
Education, Science and Training (DEST) is offering mini-grants to 
Australian institutions.

The Shibboleth® authentication and authorization technology developed 
out of the Internet2 community and is core to the U.S. based InCommon 
Federation, which enables cost-effective, privacy-preserving 
collaboration among InCommon participants by eliminating the need for 
researchers, students, and educators to maintain multiple, 
password-protected accounts. http://www.incommonfederation.org/

Best regards,
- Christina
