*Discussion*

EuroCAMP went well. Turnout was around 60, mostly from universities. Of particular note was simpleSAMLphp; see http://www.terena.org/activities/eurocamp/november07/slides/solberg-federating-wiki.pdf and http://rnd.feide.no/simplesamlphp. Michael noted that simpleSAMLphp is impressively easy to install.
