Hi Folks,
As some of you know, CentOS is working on deploying FAS2 for central authentication in the Community Build System. The Fedora Infrastructure team is working on deploying FAS3 for their needs.
Going forward, we will need a place for us and other projects to work on features of our authentication systems. One software option is to explore some of the things FreeIPA brings to the table. The IPA devs have approached both projects with the beginnings of a community portal that will handle some of the self-service components (account requests, password resets, etc.) and we thought it would be good to start on some conversations in this space.
We'll have our first meeting on Tuesday September 29th at 1300UTC in #centos-devel on Freenode with the following agenda:
- Scope for the Community Auth Working Group - Proposed GOAL: Replacing FAS with IPA + custom bits - Proposed GOAL: Work on a general Auth solution for other communities - Resources we need to move forward - Coordinating with the IPA development team - Schedule/Venue/Format for regular-ish meetings - Not necessarily frequent, but regular - OPTIONAL: Scope for a possible Auth SIG
Patrick Uiterwijk (Fedora Infrastructure Team) and I will help coordinate this group.
As always, we'll keep meetbot minutes for anyone who can't make it.
Cheers! Brian
