RE: [higgins-dev] FW: [ohf-dev] The future of ohf-dev

Mike,

Thanks very much for the heads-up.  We did have a meeting with OHF (Don
and Skip) at EclipseCON about how the Higgins framework could address
OHF's security requirements.  Sounds like this was very timely and we
should move forward quickly to having more detailed follow-up
discussions with OHF.

-Mary

Higginsvolk,

You may want to have a chat with your colleagues in the OHF project.

Hi Sean

We are keen to have further discussions with you in
regard to this - we are planning to work on security
this year.

There is already a project with some SAML implementation
in Eclipse, which is higgins (http://www.eclipse.org/higgins).
We would need to collaborate with higgins on this matter.
Don Jorgenson is going to work with you and Higgins on this.

Grahame
