Drink from a fire hose
Next week is the Higgins F2F Meeting in Provo, Utah. All are invited! (easy for me to say, as Dale Olds is our host!). As you can see the topics range from unification with OpenID, to Selector UI harmonization, to Selector Selector design work, to SAML/STS IdP harmonization, IDF requirements for IdAS, XDI restful web service binding for IdAS, XDI, Introduction to R-Cards, etc. At best we’ll only scratch the surface of these topics. But it’s going to be really fun and exciting. [Besides, a bunch of us are really just going for the skiing days on Monday and Friday].
Higgins 1.0 in the middle of final IP review followed by “graduation” from Incubation/Release review by the Eclipse Foundation. Assuming all goes well and we can quickly accommodate any issues, Higgins 1.0 should be formally released (with press releases, etc.) in February (2008). March for sure.
So what that means is that for the first time in many moons we’re actually talking about new/interesting things. The road ahead. New capabilities. New challenges. How to drive Higgins adoption. Setting up a non-profit foundation. Stepping up our outreach and participation with other groups (e.g. https://dataportability.org, among others).
