[John]

The logs for the second meeting of the dotGNU Authorization Working
Group (dog-auth-wag, from the Savannah abbreviation: dg-auth-wg) are now
available at:

http://users.ids.net/~nightspd/freport/dotgnu-auth/2002-07-07.txt

Three new members were present (ericALT, Lanatha, and ducttape) as well
as all standing members. The meeting did not cover most topics
previously scheduled, but instead was  largely a discussion session to
educate new members and answer basic DotGNU auth related questions. Also
included was a beneficial food fight.

One task that was presented on schedule was a list of web services that
are GPL'd and might benefit from including dotGNU auth; was compiled by
antifa and presented at the meeting. A copy is located here:

The next meeting is set for Sunday July 21, 1:30 PM EST, +5 UCT. on IRC,
in the #dotgnu-auth channel at OPN. Anyone who is interested in DotGNU
authentication, authorization and profiles is welcome. If the time
doesn't work for someone, pipe up and we'll figure something out. Next
weeks agenda will cover the topics:
1) webmail application target list (presentation antifa)
  Antifa will present a list of currently available webmail webservices
under GPL, which will
  benefit from incorporating DotGNU auth technology.
2) ROI (all, presentation: mds)
  Return on investment was tabled from week 1 and 2. MDS will present
and a free-form   discussion will follow. Preferably one about Return on
Investment.
3) More argument over the integration diagrams (freport, mds)
  The integration diagrams were present in the 7-7-2002 meeting. Further
discussion is
  neccessary to enbhance and modify.
4) Network topology discussion (all)
  There are differences between the network topologies of all 3 DotGNU
auth projects.
  These must be congealed for there to be any hope of integrating.
5) Discussion about the future (planning for non-participants)
  The secretary neglected to ask Barry for a description of this one.
Let's just file
  it as "Administrative issues".
6) Savannah signup (fitzix)
  voice vote to grant access to dg-auth-wg savannah CVS.

All are welcome to attend the next meeting -

Time: Sunday July 14, 1:30 PM EST, +5 UCT:
IRC Server:  irc.openprojects.net
IRC Channel: #dotgnu-auth
URI:         irc://irc.openprojects.net/dotgnu-auth

Anyone who is interested in DotGNU authentication, authorization and
profiles is welcome. If the time doesn't work for someone; announce
here, and we'll attempt to be accommodating.

That's all she wrote, volken.
