Oh well, California.... So it will be another few hours before they start. What a Working Group works on(draft) may go on to become and RFC. Here's your chance to participate! OAUTH looks interesting and is relevant to web developers. From http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-authentication-01 ---- The OAuth protocol provides a method for servers to allow third-party access to protected resources, without forcing their end users to share their credentials. This pattern is common among services that allow third-party developers to extend the service functionality, by building applications using an open API. For example, a web user (resource owner) can grant a printing service (client) access to its private photos stored at a photo sharing service (server), without sharing its credentials with the printing service. Instead, the user authenticates directly with the photo sharing service and issue the printing service delegation-specific credentials. ---- So dig in and join the jabber/webex sessions About the IETF: http://www.ietf.org/about/mission.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Engineering_Task_Force#Operations and a dated pdf http://tnc2000.terena.org/proceedings/8A/8a2.pdf On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 10:06 AM, Jason Mule <jason.mule@gmail.com> wrote: Hello everybody, I just got word that IETF is in session and I thought that I would share the info.
