Postmortem on Bearer Tokens

At end flurry of activity and got everything done, but this process took too long. Not sure why this is other than that we're all busy.

Come up with procedure, more process for reacting to security issues?
SLAs for response times?

Responsibilities that come with volunteering.

Security committee protocol? Do we have the right people on this committee?

Andrew needs a more realistic understanding of his available time and ability to realistically volunteer to do Jasig work.

Marvin needs thanked.

UnConference

Near term timeline for call for registrations, begin creating buzz for CAS at this.

CAS client libraries

.NET and mod_auth_cas wandering off? Need to reconnect with their participants.

Documentation process

uPortal solicited documentation volunteer. Laura McCord (Southwestern) selected.

CAS had one for a while and it didn't work out well.

Schedule a sooner additional conference call?

ACTION ITEM: Andrew to poke about this in following up on email.
