Hello everyone,
I’m excited to have joined this UMA Working Group. I look forward to working with you all as UMA matures and grows.
I’ve only been receiving mailing-list messages for about 24 hours so far, and I’m already regretting not having joined sooner. The thoughts, ideas, and challenges have all broadened my perspective.
My employer, TELUS, has recently become a member of the Kantara Initiative, particularly to encourage support for the evolution and adoption of UMA. A formal announcement is in the works.
We’re working at the moment on an effort with a strategic customer, and we’ve demonstrated that UMA can help us address some particular challenges. We’ve created a prototype UMA Authorization Server, and a number of sample Resource Servers and Clients to demonstrate some of UMA’s applicability to our problem set. I hope my experience with this effort, will add some value to this group’s good work.
Best regards,
Andrew
