**New Action Items**
[AI] (Keith) will check if there are Project Bamboo meetings in Sept 2012 that should be avoided in scheduling the VAMP.
[AI] (Keith) will find out if Bamboo has international sister VOs that we should consider inviting to the VAMP.
[AI] (Heather) will do the date analysis for scheduling the VAMP and propose a night followed by two days.
[AI] (Heather) will check the VAMP info for errors.
**Carry Over Action Items**
[AI] (Heather) will set up meetings with IRODS/iPlant/Internet2 in February
[AI] (Steven) will develop a one-page write-up on attribute aggregation.
DISCUSSION
Upcoming Meetings
VAMP - Sept 2012
I2SMM - April 2012
TERENA - May 2012
IDTRUST - March 2012
VAMP
- Ken has asked Nili to take the VAMP abstract and turn it into a proposal
- VAMP was mentioned by Scott Brim on the RAC call
- The Dutch have stepped forward w support for VAMP
- Likely VAMP will be in Sept. 2012 in Utrecth or Amsterdam
- looking at dates now
[AI] (Heather) will do the date analysis for scheduling the VAMP and propose a night followed by two days.
- Ken recently talked about VAMP with a group from the EU that was in DC
- Ken video-conferenced into the meeting
- there was a representative from Finish supercomputing center
- 2 people from Max Planck institute which does a lot of linguistics
- Max Planck Institute were early Shib adopters
- This EU group received a major grant from EU to categorize and organize all EU Science data
- We bonded on pain of attribute release and codes of conduct
- This group is interested in data access, scholarly identity, profiles, and matchmaking of data to researcher interest
- They do not do data storage, but they are excited about the IRODS work
- They want to participate in VAMP
- Possible linguistic interaction with Project Bamboo?
Keith, will check regarding dates and relationships:
[AI] (Keith) will check if there are Project Bamboo meetings in Sept 2012 that should be avoided in scheduling the VAMP.
[AI] (Keith) will find out if Bamboo has international sister VOs that we should consider inviting to the VAMP.
Feel free to circulate the VAMP info.
[AI] (Heather) will check the VAMP info for errors.
Bamboo Doc on Identity Management in the Ecosystem
- Ken likes document on "Bamboo Identity Management in the Ecosystem" and has been circulating it
- Especially helpful is the categorization of roles, groups and privileges,
- Wonder if LIGO or other VOs could produce something similar
Internet2 2012 SMM
- Some issues related to SMM are in flux.
- Hope things will get resolved soon
- Heather will submit one or more track sessions related to COmanage and SURFConext work
- There will be a COmanage WG session
IDtrust
- Details on the 2012 NIST/NSTIC IDtrust meeting are at
http://www.nist.gov/itl/csd/ct/nstic_idtrust-2012.cfm
There will be side meetings around IDtrust, including:
- the day before IDtrust there will be a one day invite-only Attribute WG that comes out of the Mapping the identity Ecosystem Workshop in Dec. 2011 in Amsterdam
and
- following IDTrust there will be an open OIX Trust Elevation Meeting
Terena
Terena meeting will be in Iceland in Mayhttps://tnc2012.terena.org/
NSF Science Highlight
- Heather reported that work is finishing on the NSF Science Highlight diagram
- this is the first such highlight out of OCI
Internationalization of R&S Bundle
- Internationalizing the R&S bundle would be a good thing to do
- if we want to make the R&S bundle international
- there are 2 attributes we need that are not currently in the bundle or in eduperson
- home organization
and
- preferred language
Q: How do we get those attributes promoted?
A: Keith: do the promotion thru InCommon.
- the InCommon TAC should bless it.
- then it could be publicized via InCommon
- the Kantara Attribute Management discussion group is also a good place to bring this
Keith will continue the preferred language (R&S attributes) with whomever is interested
to figure out a strategy and get this on the US radar
Next Call: Friday, Feb. 17 at 2pm ET
