Description

Project Overhead and Infrastructure

This is "keeping the lights on" for the Shibboleth projects. This includes attending teleconferences, face-to-face meetings, core list emails, etc. Also includes ongoing management of project infrastructure, and basic coordination among the team.

Standards Development

Participation in, and keeping track of, specifications from standards bodies such as OASIS, W3C, IETF, Kantara, etc., as well as activities focused on the REFEDS community. We have substantially scaled back our efforts on standards to focus on development work but continue to participate and inform REFEDS work.

Technical Support

Supporting deployers of the Shibboleth software through the Member-only support mechanisms or in response to mailing list questions from members. Non-member support is not subsidized and thus not accounted for as project time.

This also includes some of the work we do to participate externally in standards or profile discussions, mostly in REFEDS at this point. Other standards work will typically involve more specific project deliverables that require the additional discussion or coordination.

Native SP Maintenance

Maintaining the supported Service Provider product version(s). It includes bug fixes, testing, and release preparation and distribution, and also includes the maintenance of a half dozen dependent libraries. It does not include significant feature work at present.

Embedded Discovery Service Maintenance

Maintaining the EDS, including bug fixes, testing, and release preparation and distribution. It does not include significant feature work at present.

OpenSAML-Java Maintenance

Maintaining the Java OpenSAML library and supporting libraries. This includes bug fixes, testing, release preparation and distribution.

IdP and IdP Plugin Maintenance

Maintaining the Identity Provider product core and released plugins. It includes bug fixes, testing, and release preparation and distribution. Major new feature work has largely moved out to plugin development. This notably includes basic maintenance and simple enhancements to the OIDC/OAuth support as well.
