In conjunction with the Internet2 Fall Member Meeting events, we will
be
holding separate Shibboleth Installation and Configuration 
Tutorials
("Install Fest") on Monday, September 27th in Austin, Texas.
These
sessions are intended to provide hands-on focused instruction for
those
of you planning to install and configure the Shibboleth System
software
in the near future.

The schedule is as follows:

Monday 9/27
8:30am - 11:30am 
Shibboleth Identity Provider (Origin) Installation Fest
This session will offer a hands-on tutorial in installing the
Shibboleth
Identity Provider software. Attendees will leave with a working
version.


1:00pm - 2:30pm 
Shibboleth Identity Provider Configuration Fest
This session will take real-world applications and environments and
demonstrate how to make Shibboleth technology enable these scenarios
in
an efficient way.  Attendees who have experience with and/or
have
deployed Shibboleth will benefit most from this session.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION
There are a few seats available in both sessions, but space is
*very*
limited.  You MUST register by Monday September 21 by sending e-mail
