Steven reported on the 30-March-2011 Follow-up call:
- Brown has deployed Grouper integration with Google Groups
- Brown leveraged code provided by University of Washington, using a message bus
- For the most part, the syncing between Grouper and Google Groups works well, and things have settled down
- A challenge is that things change regularly with Google
- Google is about to completely change their main directory groups infrastructure (possible mid-April timeframe)
- Changes will affect tags and properties on groups created in Google
Q: What is the deliverable or outcome this Action Item?
- As the code settles down, Brown can make the code and documentation about the Brown experience available to other interested campuses.
- Ann remarked that the Brown experience could potentially make an interesting Advance CAMP presentation.
- Where should we post this information so folks know where to find it?
- Documentation on replicating groups from Grouper to Google could be a contribution to the Grouper wiki.

Also: University of Washington reported on using Grouper with Google Groups at 2010 FMM in the session "Using Grouper: Campus Case Studies".
