Liberty Alliance

Liberty Alliance opens Liberty 2.0 Day

Kaliya Young · January 22, 2007 · Leave a Comment

This is the first time that I have seen Roger Sullivan since he became President of the Liberty Alliance. He introduced Liberty Alliance and shared their new definition of themselves.

Liberty Alliance is the only global body working on define and drive open technology standards, privacy and business guidelines for digital identity management.

He was very explicitly in recognizing that there were lots of people in the industry working on solving identity management problems.
He talked about what he saw Liberty doing and looking to do in the next year:

  • Exhibiting “Market Leadership” through demonstrating value in a particular space
  • Increasing Transparency – be recognixed for defining open standards.
  • Achieve good visability for members and non-members to activities early and often
  • Inclusiveness work effectively with other industry bodies and individuals to define and develop the market – other organizations unique and different
  • Reduce barriers to participation.

He spoke again about the need to work with other organizations working on identity and to work together so that the customers are not confused by articulating the commonalities and differences. I completely agree with this however I must point out the obvious – by naming openLiberty -openLiberty market confusion will result because of the similarity with the OpenID name. As someone who spends an enormous amount of her time communicating with to the people and companies in “the market” this just added yet another thing that I must explain to people. Sigh.

He closed by highlighting members of the board of Liberty and their companies. AOL, France Telecom, Ericsson, Fidelity, HP, NTT, Intel, Oracle, Sun, Novell.
They have a new website design that seems easier to navigate. I found this history timeline, backgrounder PDF, and a public community section.

openLiberty Announcement

Kaliya Young · January 22, 2007 · Leave a Comment

THE “ANNOUNCEMENT” at the Liberty 2.0 meeting was for openLiberty.
It is a global Liberty Alliance Open Source Initiative to support open source developers building identity-based applications, addressing key industry requirements for increased security and privacy. It will support easier and faster application development and Interoperability with Liberty-based deployments worldwide.

“ID-WSF is currently the only realistic framework for securing Web services…”
– Scott Cantor, Internet2

It will be a comprehensive portal – referencing and complementing other open source infinitives such as Bandit, Higgins, OpenID etc. It includes Forums, Wiki, discussions and a member-contributed downloadable code based on Liberty Federation and Liberty Web Services.
The Initial focus will be on ID-WSF WEb Services Consumer WSC libraries and SAMLE 2.0 functionality. Participate, leverage, contribute, Converge!
One question was asked about licensing – They will be using the Apache License and Contributor agreement.
Just for fun I googled Open Liberty and this Ice Skating club came up first. When I googled Open Liberty Alliance the portal list of Open Source projects came up.

Learning about Liberty People Service

Kaliya Young · June 13, 2006 · Leave a Comment

I got to learn all about the Liberty People Service proposed spec. yesterday at their workshop. I was hoping I would just get to understand more about enterprise federation stuff. However I was very excited to see that it might be very helpful as a viable privacy protecting meta social network standard. At the conference this week there will be a demo built out based on the working draft spec. I am excited because it seems like a more viable privacy protecting system then moving around FOAF or XFN files with my entire social graph around. There are two white papers I am hoping to get through in the next two days..
