It’s good to see analysts writing sentences like “the Liberty specifications are resonating with major IT user organizations” (quoted in an InfoWorld article entitled E‑government Group forms within Liberty Alliance). It shows that the Liberty specifications (and not just federation) are being implemented and deployed.
Which brings me to the main point of this posting — if you know of Liberty deployments that are worthy of public attention, propose them for the Identity Deployment of the Year awards. Nominations close on Monday, August 21st, and the judges are waiting to see what you can nominate! The winners will be announced on stage at Digital IDWorld. I’m hoping we get to see some deployments that are illustrative of the wide range of problems that Liberty Alliance specifications solve. Paul of course wants a People Service implementation to win; are there any cool ones out there that will sway the other judges as well?
