Via Dave Johnson, news that Pat Patterson, federation architect for Sun Microsystems will be speaking at tonight’s TriLug. I’m going to make every effort to attend. Dave’s note follows:
Tri-LUG announcement: Pat Patterson from Sun Microsystems will provide us with a developer perspective on digital identity, starting from the emergence of LDAP in the 90s, through single sign-on, SAML and the Liberty Alliance protocols to recent developments such as OpenID, Cardspace and OAuth. The emphasis will be on understanding the protocols and how they are implemented in the real world, with a particular focus on deciding which (if any!) approach to select for a given project.
Pat Patterson is a federation architect at Sun Microsystems, focusing on federation, identity-enabled Web services and OpenSSO, Sun’s open-source implementation of those technologies. Pat’s blog centers on identity-related topics.

How did this talk go? Did he talk about OAuth?
Nah, logistics didn’t work out for me. Getting from where I live to RedHat at that time of night is a nightmare. Its a bummer, I was looking forward to going.

We’re going to try and have more CH talks soon if that is easier. Raleigh isn’t exactly a breeze for me to do either. However when we get someone to fly in, it is easier to attract keynotes from afar to the RH location.
