Work plan for year 1

Please read through the following work plan:

• https://rnd.feide.no/content/géant3-jra3-identity-federations-workplan-year-1

The plan is to start with three work tracks for now, and start others later this year. The idea is to start with:

1. Metadata distribution
2. Virtual organizations
3. Identity Federation Harmonization

What I need the next days/weeks is to fill the work plan with real names. I've already included a tentative list of NRENs on each work track, but I need names here. I'll use the interest tracking Foodle as a basis.

Metadata distribution.

Work has already started. I invited to participate in testing a metadata aggregator on the list. Need as many participants as possible on this.

Virtual Organisations.

The idea is to start with an independent frontend and a backend. The frontend is a WebUI for administering groups and/or VO/attributes. The backend implements access to the service and retrieval of group/attribute information.

We most likely should implement and demonstrate multiple different backends and compare, summarize our experience.

• I have forwarded a draft document from SWITCH/Chad on how to implement a VO platform backend.

Next week, the JRA5 working group will have a meeting in Rome, Italy. I'm looking forward to it.

A GÉANT2 Workshop was held in Cambridge, UK, monday January 15th - 19th 2007. I attended for the JRA5 meetings and TF-mobility.

I presented status on the eduGAIN Bridging Elements implementation and prepared a demonstration of cross-logins between Norway, Swtizerland and Spain, with both SP and IdP functionality in all three countries.

Here are some pictures from the event:
