Fame at last
Someone asked me today "how famous do you think FreeMIS is?" - a question that was clearly going somewhere. I mumbled some non-comittal waffle, and was then presented with a copy of issue 65 of Linux User. There's an article about this year's FLOSSIE, which mentions my 5 minute slot about FreeMIS. At the risk of consuming too much of your precious bandwidth, allow me to reproduce my mention in its entirety:
Shibboleth SSO for FreeMIS is actually "in development", but apart from that it's all true :)
The article has a link to the demo site - this explains the recent spike in visits to the demo.
Robert Jones' (sic) FreeMIS, developed with Ruby-on-Rails,
had come from a different direction - based on the need to
report to parents. As it is currently used in Scotland, it
uses Shibboleth for single sign-on. (c) R Smedley

Fame indeed! Even if I haven't a clue how it works ;-) I've got some really interesting stuff from the Curverider conference to do with SSE. Kevin Jardine was giving the talk. Do you know of him?
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of Kevin Jardine, but from a quick bit of googling (TM) he looks like an interesting guy. Did you mean SSE? If so, I'm afraid that one TLA too many for me - no idea what it means!
