  • Important to get other schools on board
  • Simon Fraser University is the first school after Rutgers to start committing
  • Why is OpenRegistry a better option then ILM
  • OpenRegistry isn't a solution for people who need a solution today
  • Columbia built their own solution over 20 years
  • Rutgers has the same story
  • So does SFU
  • So why not go open source?
  • Buying a solution is just as much effort building one when all the glue code is accounted for
  • Rutgers had a VP on board and hence got traction
  • Upper management likes having JASIG on board
  • Rutgers rollout plan
    • OpenRegistry roll out upstream of current PDB (Rutgers home grown system)
    • Over time move other systems to upstream of OR
    • Use OR to capture people not currently covered by PDB
    • Continuing ed students are a first use case, since they have no presence in the current system
  • How does OpenRegistry alleviate the glue code problem that comes with commercial solutions?
    • Workflow is not tied in to OpenRegistry?
    • Work on common themes (general flow and local common internal magic)
    • OR provides a framework that covers the general flow from Systems of Record to directories with hooks for custom configuration through multiple channels
    • Handles custom reconciliation in the middle
    • Oracle's solution doesn't even handle the concept of multiple SoR
    • Reconciliation is a unique concept in OpenRegistry
    • Buy in for higher ed
  • Need to talk about Governance
    • Rutgers has a new HR system coming which is going to change their IDM stuff
    • Rutgers has to do something about the new HR anyway, so they threw their energy into creating a new OR instead of re-writing the old one
    • Bring up OR before the HR system
    • Rutgers is officially committed through next summer
    • Governance needs to be shored up to demonstrate that this is truly a community driven project, not just a Rutgers project
      • Possible advisory committee (might be overkill)
      • Lighter weight solution like bi-weekly developer conference calls
  • Types of schools that have shown interest
    • Done something already, like a home grown system that they are happy with, or vendor solution with glue code, but have sustainability issues
    • Haven't done anything yet and can't contribute to an open source solution, but need something eventually
    • 1-2% of schools that need to do something now and are willing to jump in to a bleeding edge solution (like SFU)
  • No labels
