Comment: OpenSSO will continue to live (Score 1) 128

I've actually been involved with the OpenSSO project during the last 2 years or so, and I honestly don't think it will disappear at all. It had a very active and vibrant community which supported it, many of which have already made the jump to help ForgeRock.

On top of that, OpenSSO/OpenAM already has some terrific features. Its Agent interface is superb, the SAML engine is rock solid, FEDLETs are ahead of their time, and it even had a well documented API for integrating directly into your own application. That's not to say that OpenSSO didn't have room to expand (I found its STS service to be "finicky"), but I expect many of these issues will be addressed by ForgeRock.

I understand that Oracle already has it's own IAM suite, but I think dropping OpenSSO will be something that they regret.

OpenSSO is dead. Long live OpenAM!

I agree, it's the same where I live (in Montreal), we get A LOT of snowfall each year, and almost all of the traffic lights I see these days are of the LED variety. I suspect that these traffic lights were simply designed to work in winterized conditions whereas the ones in the midwest of the US are not. As far as I know, the city does not spend any time clearing snow off the lights, BTW. They don't ever seem to need servicing of that type in the winter.

This is an artist from the 1950's, and his work really struck a chord with me as a computer scientist (and the son of a machinist). Check out some of his stuff: http://www.animationarchive.org/2006/02/media-artzybasheffs-machinalia.html http://www.animationarchive.org/2006/02/media-artzybasheffs-neurotica.html
