InCommon Advance CAMP:
Identity Services Summit III

May 25-27,

2011 in Westminster, Colorado

Applications may run as a campus-based, federated, or cloud service.  They may be community sourced or commercially provided. In any case, a large part of integration is addressing identity and access management (IAM) needs in a scalable way. If you align IAM service approaches across development projects and campus IAM infrastructure, then you can reduce the integration burden. Otherwise this work is left to developers and campus implementers.

Want solutions for better provisioning, discovery, authorization or other identity-related problems? Do you develop software or support open/community source applications? Interested in working with identity leaders across higher education and getting in on the ground floor to help design the next generation architecture? Come to the inCommon Advance CAMP: Identity Services Summit III and participate!

It's Your Meeting

Led by you, the attendees, the Advance CAMP's unconference format provides the flexibility to take the meeting where you want it to go. Pitch your challenges and possible solutions to your colleagues and work together to determine the breakout sessions and set the agenda. At the end, identify the common most pressing needs and volunteer for project teams to move the issues forward.                                  

Past Identity Services Summits have yielded discussions and solutions for developer practices in federating applications and federated group management as well as investigating SPML and provisioning to the cloud. Eighteen projects were identified last year and fifteen were either completed, are still ongoing, or were adopted by organizations like Jasig as a more formal project.

You can review the outcomes of the 2010 meeting for a complete summary of the progress made since the the last Advance CAMP in June.

Plan to Participate

Advance CAMP is actively seeking the participation of architectsIf you're interested in working together to align IAM approaches to ensure that delivered software will be more secure, easier to integrate, consistent and usable, join your colleagues at the upcoming Advance CAMP: The Second Identity Services Summit. Building on last year's Identity Services Summit, we'll hear from suppliers and consumers of identity services across several projects and development frameworks. We will determine specific steps  as we continue moving towards de facto standardization. Architects, developers, and deployers of open source and commercial-sponsored software, services, and frameworks will find participation most useful.

Outcomes of this discussion-oriented, participant-driven meeting are to:

• Develop new IAM requirements for current projects, products, and development frameworks
• Identify opportunities for new IAM-oriented projects, align complimentary work, and collaborate on solutions
• Set the direction for the community on what's next for identity-related activities and resources

Meeting participants will:

.  We are looking to

- Engage in solving identity-related challenges of importance to you
- Hear about who's doing what and how to participate in or leverage their activities

- Develop your take-aways for using technologies such as Facebook, OAuth, OpenID, SAML, Kuali KIM, OpenSocial, Spring, and Django among others
- Participate in developing the next generation identity services landscape

Tell us ahead of time what you're interested in and get your colleagues thinking too. Post your ideas to the topic ideas page.

Come to Advance CAMP: Identity Services Summit III where we set the direction for the community on what's next for identity in higher education.

Advance CAMP follows Jasig's Spotlight on Open Source, May 23 - 25 (same location, separate registration)
