The first session will be held on February 18 at 8AM PT and will provide an overview around how Sun approaches everyday identity and offer an overview of our methodology to build strong identity foundation that lasts. So . . . what are you waiting for! Register for our life changing webinar now!

The OpenDS project just announced its first non-Sun contributor: Benjamin Damm from Brighton Consulting. The OpenDS guys are doing a very good job at community building: they have good documentation, simple build instructions, a list of Bite-Sized Bugs (Benjamin tackled one of them)... A good description of how to contribute can be fond in this blog and also at the OpenDS Developers Page.

The OpenDS team is quietly delivering. Their Initial Launch was met mostly with positive responses ([1], [2]) with some exceptions ([3], [4]). This week's addition are Weekly Builds, which is exactly in the right direction to encourage participation. The team's main blog is here; recent entries include the Introduction to OpenDS, an Overview of LDAP, Java and Performance, New Features in OpenDS.
