We're going to host another pre-conference workshop for DEC 08 in Chicago, but instead of focusing on a specific technology like ILM or AD, my goal is to provide a workshop that lets people learn how to use all the MSFT IdA technologies together in a real-world scenario, incuding ADDS/LDS, ILM "2", ADFS, CardSpace, RMS, and Certificate Services using smart cards. We're still developing the scenarios, but after spending some time brainstorming with my friends at www.oxfordcomputergroup.com (who will develop and deliver the workshop), I'm sure we're going to develop a great workshop. The integrated IdA scenarios are really, really cool, and the interesting work is at the seams (think shiny duct tape). Stay tuned to www.dec2008.com for more info as the plans firm up.
