Attendees:
Brent, Ian, Marvin, Rod, Scott, Tom
Call Administrivia
Next call is next Friday.
60 to 90 minute call window.
Brent
Work on message decoders and other messaging code. Protocol message signing and other security code refactoring.
Daniel
Ian
Got permission to put UK federation "private" code (e.g. aggregator components) on GitHub, some of which is there now, more to come. Experiencing pain of svn-git conversion tools.
Marvin
Rod
Attribute filters are functionally complete. I need to do at leas one pass over to check logging, annotations and javadoc.
Attribute mapping (needed for the AttributeInMetadataFilter) is WIP.
Scott
Dealing with administrivia regarding SP patch
Checking in storage API additions and tweaks and moved into dedicated maven modules
Rebased transientId definition on top of storage API
- Open issue around re-running resolver within a transaction
- Structured vs. "hacky" storage of multiple data fields (SP uses XML, thinking we probably want JSON here)
- Current def produces a string attribute value, I'd rather generate a NameID directly
- No principal connector thing yet?
Tom
Code review for idp-attribute-filter next week Friday June 21 ?

Notes
We agreed not to meet on June 28.
Agreed to rev java-support module with some refactoring discussed on shib-dev.
Scott and Rod discussed the need to flesh out some issues around name identifiers and the dependent concern of name canonicalization.
Rod proposed another face-to-face meeting and mentioned the high value of the Columbus meeting. Scott suggested travel expenses from the OH meeting might provide input to a budget for the proposed face-to-face.
Scott briefly summarized Shib Consortium Board meeting where consortium membership fees were discussed. Scott advocated for scaling back membership fees, which he felt would exclude most US institutions due to excessive cost. He was successful in reducing costs and some changes in institutional size categories.
