Andy, I was on hols during McShibb so missed it :( I'd second Andy's point about Shib though (again, for obvious reasons!). Especially as Shibboleth the Profile is almost gone from the wild, on the IdP side anyway. Presumably it'll go away when the suppliers upgrade to Shibb2? Remember, there's no Shib2, only Shibb2, or is it the other way round? eek! FedCon? how do you see it relating to JISC's FAM bash? UK perspective on FAM?

If so, then the naming might want to reflect that by using 'SAML' or 'Fed(eration)' rather than 'Shib'. (From my perspective, I'm obviously sensitive about such things ;-) ). > > How about > > FedForum > FedCamp > FedFlock > FedF2F > SAMLCamp > SAMLchat > SAMLbabble > FederationCongragation > > If the focus is intended to be just Shib then I'd suggest > > ShibCamp > > or > > ShibShape > > (Right... that's my lunchtime wasted!:-) ) > > Andy > > -- > Andy Powell > Research Programme Director > Eduserv > t: 01225 474319 > m: 07989 476710 > twitter: @andypowe11 > blog: efoundations.typepad.com > > www.eduserv.org.uk > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Discussion list for Shibboleth developments [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Andy Swiffin > Sent: 07 June 2010 15:42 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Not McShib, but "<somethingelse>Shib" > > Hi > > Many of you may have seen me plugging McShib over last couple of years. McShib in the tradition of great Scottish gatherings gets together all of us from the lowlands and the highlands (and even sometimes the Islands) so that we can natter to our hearts content about all things Federation (we really do need to get out more, but what with the snow and then the ash....). Speaking personally I've found our meetings really really helpful, made many great friends and contacts and learnt a lot of terrifically useful things about how to do this Shibboleth stuff. > > We've even had a few make some quite epic journeys to join in from over the border and people have said "I wish we had something like this down our way".

As well as the formal presentations we always factor in time for open discussion so it's a great way to mix with other "federators". > > What's it to be called? Well that's up to you!!
