Presentation of Shibboleth integration in PicoForge at Hephaistos Conference

Here are the slides of our presentation of PicoForge and integration in a federation identity with Shibboleth, made at the Hephaistos Conference.

Update 2006/12/09 : the paper is now online, included in the preliminary version of the proceedings of the conf. It’s also available in PDF format.

Presentation of PicoLibre/PicoForge at phpGroupware Conference 2006

Here are the slides of my presentation of PicoLibre / PicoForge made at the phpGroupware Conference 2006.

We tried and emphasize some issues relating to phpGroupware’s architecture in the last slides… but of course, it would be better with the sound 😉

Update 2006/11/10 : I’ve updated the files in order to reflect the latest version, which is the one I presented, with more details on Shibboleth and Subversion in the FileManager.

Program of the Hephaistos conference announced – our paper on Shibboleth and PicoForge retained

The program of the Hephaistos conference has been announced.

It seems I’ll have to present something, then, as our paper on Shibboleth and PicoForge has been selected.

Hope to see you there and discuss the subject of forges.

FYI, the location is not defined yet, but should be in Paris most probably. You may register anyway now, in order to plan for the right facilities (and note the gala dinner is an extra 25 euros which can be paid on location, with limited room : register early 😉

“beta” PicoLibre/PicoForge Debian packages

Christian has just issued some new PicoLibre/PicoForge packages in order to be able to get more tests on a hopefully much more phpgroupware-compliant code.

Nothing spectacular so far, but a major rewrite of many picolibre modules in phpGroupware, which should easy a lot maintainability (and enhance security).

Next steps :

  • Integration of subversion in addition to CVS in the picolibre-backend, protected through chroot jail, with SSH and LDAP. It’s almost ready and should be in a testable state next week…
  • Integration of TWiki : some bits are almost ready too : we should be able to use a LDAP plugin in TWiki to be able to use the LDAP users and groups of PicoLibre, and a new phpgroupware application is currently being written to allow project’s wikis creation…

I hope that we will be able to test all that on the production platforms at INT and ENST Bretagne soon (before the Hephaistos and phpGroupware confs in november).

For the installation instructions, for the curious : more details in the CVS
