After a good start to the conference, I went into day 2 thinking that there was going to be more opportunity for me to blog while in the session room because the content would be fairly familiar. But there were lots of good nuggets of information spread throughout the talks, enough to generate a generous [...]

Burton Catalyst 2009: Waiting for the World to Change
In my last post, I talked about the SIG meetings that I attended prior to the conference actually starting. There was lots of good content and discussion, which continued on into the actual sessions. I had thought of splitting my time between the Identity and Cloud Computing (new to Catalyst this year) tracks. But the [...]
Burton Catalyst 2009: The Twisted Web We Weave
I’m finally settling back into work after a wonderful week out in sunny San Diego at Burton Group’s annual Catalyst Conference. And it wasn’t just the weather outside that was wonderful. Inside you could find some thought-provoking sessions, inspiring discussions and great people. It’s given me way too much to blog about, and I hope [...]
Change We Need
It’s been a long time since I have been able to post. A lot conspired to make it difficult for me to keep up with my blogging, not the least of which has been a number of interesting, but under wrap, developments within the IdM group at Oracle (if you follow me on Twitter, you [...]
Evolving the Identity Services architecture
The last 3 months or so has been really good to my work defining our vision for Identity Services. I’ve gotten valuable input from my colleagues in the IdM business, and my participation in Project Fusion and Burton’s Identity Services Working Group has helped crystallize some key aspects of the architecture.

Having now appeared as a significant bit player in this drama, I have decided to leave it in the hands of more capable people like Clayton and am moving on to familiar [...]
Information Cards gets its own Foundation
One of the big announcements at Catalyst that I twittered about was the formation of the Information Card Foundation (take that, OpenID). The purpose of the non-profit foundation is to promote the use of information cards as a secure way to present personal identity information on the web. The foundation has a power-packed set [...]
The Real World: Catalyst Conference Edition
Another Catalyst conference has come and gone, leaving us with a lot of material to chew on and ponder. Burton always forces us to think about what we are doing, especially those of us that have products to deliver. And it’s always interesting to see all the new companies that are popping up in [...]
Follow me at Catalyst
I’ll be at the Catalyst conference next week, looking to share and learn. I expect Catalyst to be the usual source of inspiration, news and ideas. And I look forward to meeting up with fellow identirati like Ian, Mark and of course, the good folks from Burton.
Unfortunately, a quirk of timing means that a long [...]
Concordia tackles Entitlements and Policy Management
Burton Group’s Catalyst Conference is coming up at the end of the month, which means that the work going on in the identity management world kicked up a few notches last month. One of the things that is becoming a fixture at Catalyst is a meeting of the folks involved in Project Concordia. Anyone who [...]
