Hello,

  
Carol has been approached again regarding the SAML 
  Demo at the Burton Europe event, http://www.burtongroup.com/catalyst/cateu02/. 
  Please reply if you are interested in participating in a SAML 
  Interoperability Demo.

  
Regards,

  
Dee

Hi Hal - I don't 
  think I heard that Burton was already looking 
  to do this in Europe, but I should have 
  figured that one out.

  
 

  
So, our marketing 
  group has now contacted both Jim and Phil to work out with Burton as to which 
  conference might be appropriate if there is sufficient interest in doing 
  something in Europe.  Our interest 
  was simply to keep the SAML exposure up and we don't care whose stage it's 
  on... We'll throw our support behind the Burton event if they want 
  to run it.  

  
 

  
Even if all of the 
  previous vendors can't make it, it may still be desirable to go with those 
  that can get there.

  
 

  
I think the timeframe 
  for these events (Sept/Oct) makes it difficult to either expand the scope to 
  different SAML functionality or to open it up to vendors that weren't at the 
  previous one.  At least I believe that's the case for us given our 
  schedule pressures, etc.

Hal and Rob, 

  
I had this same discussion this morning with Phil Schacter from Burton. He 
  is going to think about it and get back to us (directly or through Jim). 
  
Sun is interested in both and similar to Entegrity would attend if there 
  was critical mass regardless. 
  
The idea of demonstrating new aspects is interesting, but the work to do it 
  will be similar to what we did the first time. Calculating ROI is still a crap 
  shoot. 
  
I'll be curious to see what the rest of you decide. Will we open up the 
  participation again? 
  
Don;

I am going to 
    assume that everybody but Jim is on saml-dev, and not copy the long list of 
    participant emails.

    

    
 

    

    
There was some 
    discussion in SF about doing the European Catalyst, so in some sense Burton 
    Group made the first offer.

    

    
 

    

    
The general 
    reaction was most people, especially the smaller vendors did not have the 
    resources to do it again in Europe and that the 
    expected PR benefits would be much smaller to do the same thing again. 
    Demonstrating a new aspect of SAML would be another 
    matter.

    

    
 

    

    
This is essentially 
    Entegrity Solutions current position, although I suppose if the other 11 
    vendors were going we might rethink it. ;-)

    

    
 

    

    
Hal

Hi folks - I was asked whether 
      there'd be any interest in doing an interop event similar to what we did 
      at Catalyst, but for a European audience.  Specifically, my marketing 
      folks have asked if folks would like to do something at the upcoming RSA 
      Conference in Paris 
      October 7-10.

      
 

      
If so, please pass along a 
      contact and I'll have someone get in touch.
