ACTION: Deke and Jorj to extend an invitation to Peter to join a call

ACTION: moc up of PIC page to Elaine - Jorj?

ACTION: get a blurb from Tim on Stanford's activities

Next steps in moving to deployment.

-  add a chapter in the cookbook, proof of concept of servers

- who's issuing these certs? 

- who wants to participate?

- need to poll of interested parties

- do a wiki page somewhere and let people post their certs to it

- lots of schools that have stuff out there (post on a page)

- should we issue our own root ca? share certs first, demonstrate an easy implementation.

- Internet2 server and Penn server share the two certs. Scotty will trust those two, after we set this up

- Tim will re-engage Duke, and others  

6 month goals:

- session for the FMM

The overarching theme for this fall's meeting is: “Collaborations and Resource Sharing in Research and Education: How the economic crisis 

is fueling the expansion of networking technology, fostering global communities, and driving social change.” Presentations that focus on 

the elements of network-based collaboration, including--but not limited to--virtual organizations, social networking, and software 

collaboration tools are encouraged.

- Implementing the trusted server network

- Stanford (welcome to the group!) has requirements for secure end-end IM communications; Share our configuration recommendations 

(which will be included in the cookbook.)

- SAML authentication

- openfire grouper integration

- end-to-end security

- talk with PSA regarding end-to-end trust protocols

Other:

K12 wouldn't be able to implement on their own, maybe we could come up with a virtual image that people could try in a cloud

service. Work with comange folks and use their stuff with openfire.  Comanage offers a better scale. 

next call: June 4
