Preliminary Webinars for The Quilt / InCommon Federation Workshop

Jack Suess and George Laskaris

 

 

In order to maximize the effectiveness of our planned one-day Federation workshop at the Quilt Meeting in La Jolla, CA on February 7-8, we have planned two preliminary webinars to provide the necessary background and context to insure that participants will get the most out of the workshop and will come prepared with enough preliminary information to participate in the discussion.

 

The first webinar will be held on Friday, January 18 at 1:00 PM ET and will provide an Introduction to Federations and InCommon.  This webinar will introduce some of the basic concepts and terminology associated with components of Identity management and federations for those who may not have had much background or exposure to approaches that have been applied in the Identity domain.

 

The second webinar will be held on Friday, January 25 at 1:00 PM ET and will provide a more in-depth overview of some models and strategies for establishing a distributed framework for federation that would allow for the extensibility of InCommon services to constituents such as K-12 and community colleges in collaboration with regional networks.  Other goals of the second webinar are to prepare attendees to come to the workshop with information about their constituent’s needs, readiness, and level of expertise as well as potential Regional/K-12 pilot project opportunities.

 

More information about the webinar’s and Adobe Connect links will be distributed in January.
