In case you missed it, Pat Patterson has just done a webcast on the topic of applying SAML 2.0 to the 'lightweight' federation requirements of that nebulous beast, "Web 2.0". For anyone who still thinks that federation, SAML, Liberty and the like are too heavyweight and 'enterprise-centric', this is a very practical illustration of its application to the LAMP environment.
Here's Pat's blog post on the topic, with links to the supporting materials, and here's a very positive article about the webcast, by Rich Seeley at SearchWebServices.com.
Pat has also made it onto Aldo Castañeda's "Story of Digital ID" series, which is great news - a worthy contributor, with a great deal to contribute; here's the podcast.
