Futures Event - Identity and access management
Posted by markwilliams on July 2nd, 2008
We had over 60 interested participants at our event in Birmingham which was aimed at teasing out from the community, specific areas of work that should be addressed in the coming JISC capital programme spend. The breakout sesson was interesting, I expected lots of call for shiny new identity management tools. However the consensus of the group was fixed on embedding the progress that we have already made, with particular attention on developers forums, institutional support, account linking, pilots with other sectors. Outputs that would inspire and generate populist appeal were particulary called for - with the “killer app” that would really demonstrate the promise of access and identity management, considered the holy grail of outcomes.
Presentations from the event will be up soon.

Andy, thanks for the link. This is why I love blogs and slideshare. The presentation is great, but I am still not really convinced of OpenID. I just don´t like to cede to much power.
