Want to hear how your colleagues in the community are solving problems similar to yours? Each month you can bring your topics for discussion to the call.

COMANAGE AT TECHNOLOGY EXCHANGE

Don’t miss these sessions about the COmanage project and tools during Technology Exchange this September: 

• Tue, SEP 19, 12:30 PM: COmanage Open Office Hours LIVE
  Topic Aperitif: Re-thinking Enrollment Flows

COmanage Registry is undergoing a significant update with version 5.0.0. With a substantial upgrade to the underlying development framework, CakePHP, we are taking the opportunity to review current Registry uses and adjust the code and features to better align with how the system is being used today. For this month’s “topic aperitif,” we will explore how we are rethinking enrollment flows and seek your input and use cases as we start to implement this updated core feature. This session will replace the September virtual event, which will also be offered to online participants.

NOTE: We will repeat this interactive discussion during a regularly-scheduled Office Hours online session for anyone who will not be attending the conference in person.

• Wed, SEP 20, 1:40 PM: COmanage Match This! Early Case Studies
  COmanage Match has been available for a little over a year, since July 2022. Its first training class was in March of this year. How are institutions starting to use and build the tool into their data management workflows? During this panel discussion, we will hear from institutions that have started to explore how they will use Match on their campuses. They will share the use cases they have set out to address and what they have been learning along the way.

COmanage Match provides a heuristic-based system for matching identity records across multiple authoritative systems of record. It implements the open Identity Match API standard completed by an InCommon working group in 2018. This flexible tool can be used with an Identity Registry like COmanage Registry, integrated with other systems via its API, or as a standalone service.

COMANAGE MATCH TRAINING

Join us for the full-day COmanage Match training workshop. Developed through generous support from UCSD and offered by InCommon, this hands-on workshop will review how to configure and use COmanage Match, including an overview of the Match API, developing and testing match rules, and thoughtful discussion about your use cases. 

• WORKSHOP DATE: October 26

• REGISTRATION: More information and registration for this virtual workshop can be found at this link.

COMANAGE REGISTRY TRAINING

If you are looking for training for Registry, InCommon is offering the next workshop the same week as for Match. Take the two together or separately.

• WORKSHOP DATE: October 24-25 

• REGISTRATION: More information and registration for this virtual workshop can be found at this link.

That’s it for this month’s newsletter. Keep an eye out for our next one scheduled for late August.
