Presence and IntComm WG

["Callahan, Tim" <>]

Everyone,
Please join us for our conference call today.  (1st and 3rd Thursdays)

Presence and Integrated Communications
Recently, we've talked about future goals for the group. First, we'd like to 
re-energize and re-engage the group.  What about PIC interests you/your 
institution?  Are you excited about emerging or developing PIC topics or 
technologies?  What pieces are missing to meet PIC-related objectives?  How 
can our PIC group help bridge that gap - industry collaboration, protocol 
changes, software/service development, etc?  In the near term, is there a 
practical/functional/operational need that we can help with?

I encourage everyone to mull over these questions and join our discussions 
(on our calls, via listserv) on how our group can provide continued value.   
This isn't a question for today only - let's keep a rolling discussion. 

Wave for Apps
Today, I noticed that Wave is available for Google Apps domains. (Probably 
because I recently added the "make my domain work more like the Google 
domain" option.)  I added it to a personal domain, but I'm not sure what I'll 
do with it yet...

Shib for non-web apps
Earlier this week, a Microsoft rep mentioned that they have been working with 
the Shib folks and the University of Washington(?) to develop a Shib 2.1 
plug-in for certain MS non-web apps, such as Outlook.  It sounds like it is 
working, and they claimed to have a couple pilot customers.  They didn't 
mention if it was proprietary or if it works with non-MS apps. I'm following 
up with MS and hope to know more by our next call. Does anyone else have 
info? 

Other topics are always welcome.
Chat with you soon!
-Tim
