[Concordia] Fwd: Concordia Workshop April 7: Impact Our Agenda!

[Britta Glade]

The below email just went out to the Concordia workshop pre-registrants
(some of whom I know are on this list, too!).  I'll share feedback that
comes through with this group.  We're currently at 222 registrants (as of
last Monday).  Nice work!

Dear Concordia Workshop Registrant:

Thank you for registering to attend the free public Concordia Workshop on
April 7 from 9-12:30 pm at the Moscone Center in SF.  Reflecting the true
community spirit that the Concordia Project is, we'd like to solicit your
involvement now in helping our workshop to meet your needs and help you
leave with real solutions.  Let us know your deployment issues with the
scenarios we're testing (see below) and your other most important deployment
issues.  The squeakiest wheels get the attention in this community effort as
we work to quickly address real-world deployer's interoperability issues in
the identity space, and we look forward to your input in keeping us on track
as we pursue interoperability across identity protocols in use today.

Our plan at the workshop is to provide a couple of formal presentations to
bring you up to speed on
Concordia<http://www.projectconcordia.org/index.php/Main_Page>,
what we've done, the interoperability use cases that we've developed, and
the input that we've received.  We then plan to demonstrate the
cross-standard interoperability we've been able to achieve, addressing two
use cases that end deployers brought to us as urgently needed: *Infocards +
Federation (SAML and WS-Fed)* and *SAML2 + WS-Fed chaining*.  The RSA IOP
Scenarios <http://www.projectconcordia.org/index.php/RSA_IOP_Scenarios> page
is our wiki work page which reflects the current status of work to define
these scenarios.  This page will evolve more and more as we work up to the
actual interop event.  You can also see other deployer presentations that
have been made at past Concordia workshops from organizations like
AOL<http://projectconcordia.org/images/c/c7/AOLConcordiaWorkshop06.26.07.pdf>,
Boeing<http://projectconcordia.org/images/c/c8/BoeingConcordiaWorkshop06.26.07.pdf>,
Chevron, General
Motors<http://projectconcordia.org/images/c/cd/GMShortConcordiaWorkshop06.26.07.pdf>,
Government of B.C.<http://projectconcordia.org/images/d/dc/GovtofBritishColumbiaConcordiaWorkshop06.26.07.pdf>,
InCommon Federation<http://projectconcordia.org/images/3/32/InCommon_-_Concordia-1-.pdf>,
New Zealand State Services
Commission<http://projectconcordia.org/images/8/81/NZ_Concordia_Use_Case.pdf>,
and the U.S. General Services
Administration<http://projectconcordia.org/images/4/4a/USGSAConcordiaWorkshop06.26.07.pdf>--chances
are you'll have something in common with some of these deployers.


Currently seven vendors have committed to participate in the
interoperability demonstration, with more expected to commit in the coming
weeks.  Current participants include *FuGen Solutions, Microsoft, Oracle,
Ping Identity, Shibboleth, Sun Microsystems, and Symlabs*.  If your favorite
vendor isn't listed here, let them know how much you'd like to see them
participate and demonstrate interoperability to help you solve your
deployment needs.  The wiki reflects all of the current participants.
Likewise,
if you'd like to participate, we welcome you!  Join the Concordia mailing
list <http://lists.projectconcordia.org/mailman/listinfo/community> and
twice monthly teleconferences.

To share your expectations for the workshop and your top deployment needs,
just reply to this email.  Responses will be reviewed and our presentations
and interop demos adjusted accordingly.  We welcome you as a part of the
Concordia community, and look forward to meeting you April 7.
