Their first sponsored project is the Open1X supplicant, Xsupplicant, and efforts are underway to add support for Windows and a cross-platform UI. This is interesting considering the recent acquisitions of Meetinghouse by Cisco and Funk by Juniper. A note on the Open1X homepage also mentions OpenSEA. The consortium boasts a number of well-known industry faces such as Symanetc, Extreme Networks, and Tipping Point. There is also a fair bit of University interst through UKERNA, which is kind of like the Internet2 for Europe."
