2. (Brendan) Report on EuroCAMP, November 5-6, 2008, Athens Greece

"How to build single sign on systems - practical experiences"

http://www.terena.org/activities/eurocamp/nov08/programme1.html

It was a good mix of basic and advanced topics, and a diverse group of ~50 technically-oriented attendees representing research organizations and universities. It was well received by the attendees.

3. Scott reported that NSF will likely confront organizational attribute issues similar to those recently faced by NIH in the near future, in relation to their grant administration tools. More to come on this as it develops.
