*Recent Meetings*

- CSG

May 13-15, Indianapolis IN

http://www.stonesoup.org/

Ken, Tom, and Michael attended. Shared services were a focus, including but not limited to cloud computing. Next steps resulting include investigation into a legal framework for standing up a new 501(c)3 organization(s) as a home for current or future R&E service or SW development efforts. DuraSpace was cited as an example, a recently announced collaboration between Fedora Commons and the DSpace Foundation.

- EuroCAMP

May 15-16, 2009, Cork, Ireland

http://www.terena.org/activities/eurocamp/

This is shaping up to be similar in focus to Base Camps, focusing on campus infrastructure, but with an emphasis on federation. Penn State's CIO will be attending.

- IIW

May 18-20, 2009. Mountain View, CA

http://iiw.idcommons.net/Iiw8

Bob attended. There was a session about OAuth as a service access method. Google has enabled OpenID providers on all of their hosted domains, although it is not entirely clear yet how a campus would take advantage of it.

- REFEDs - 3rd International Federation Peering Workshop

June 7, 2009, Málaga, Spain

http://www.terena.org/activities/refeds/meetings/june09/

There was good discussion, and ISOC and OAuth were represented. There was an update from the JISC Legal Project, as well as from the EU STORK project. Leif has more info in his blog.

**Discussion**

- Annual IT conference for DoE labs

Collaboration support was a topic of discussion, including federation and Shibboleth. Tom presented a track session and led a BoF on Shib and InCommon, both of which were well received. There is growing momentum towards labs joining InCommon. Federated SSH appears to be an attractive driver for many researchers. More to come on this as it develops.

- InCommon Future

This work is progressing toward a concluding report, to be delivered to Internet2 and the community as a whole. More to come on this as it develops.

- CAMP Feb 2010?

It is not yet clear whether this will happen. More to come on this as it develops.

- Shib and OpenID

Initial work is under way, and more info will be forthcoming as it is scoped and prioritized. This will be discussed on the Shib-Dev list and conference calls before significant code is developed.

- Coordination on SAML testing, and Liberty

There has been discussion about enabling Shibboleth and SimpleSAMLphp participation, still in the early stages. More to come on this as it develops.

- Second Factor service proposal

A proposal has been submitted to a funding agency, particularly to support national labs and government agencies as well as campuses.
