Ieri durante la WPC – Worldwide Partner Conference – di New Orleans  (da non confondere con la nostrana WPC – Windows Professional Conference –) sono stati svelati i nomi ufficiali della suite “Geneva” come riportato dal sito di IDentity Management su MSDN e da Vittorio Bertocci . Quindi da ieri abbiamo : Geneva Server diventa Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS).

It’s been a good ride: in all these months I developed some emotional attachment to the code name “geneva”, and like with “indigo” it will take some time for me to get used to the official names. At the same time I am excited to see that the official names are the right ones! Let’s see what changed into what, as described in the forefront blog .

  Few months ago I had the pleasure to spend few days in Antwerp, Belgium, where I participated to the local TechDays event and gave a couple of sessions . Katrien recently announced that the Belgian DPE team just published the videos of all the sessions , which is a great move since the event was exceptionally good.

In less than a month of availability, the Id Element show on Channel 9 enjoyed more than 86,000 views: considering that Identity has been traditionally considered a niche subject, those are impressive numbers which demonstrate a healthy interest from you guys. THANK YOU Now that beta 2 is out, we know that many of you want to know *EVERYTHING* about it

If you were wondering what kept me up in the evenings of the last few months, wonder no more The Identity Developer Training Kit is a set of hands-on labs and resources designed to help developers to take advantage of Microsoft’s identity products and services. Being designed for developers, the kit focuses on the Geneva Framework : however it also gives guidance on how to take advantage of Geneva Server , Windows Live ID , the Microsoft Federation Gateway and the .NET Access Control Service (which is featured in a renewed and expanded lab).

Identity finally has its very own home on Channel9 : today we are launching a new show and a new topic area, both under the title “ The Id Element ”. As the introductory page recites: Welcome to The Id Element , your one-stop shop for all things identity on Channel9! In this page you will find all kinds of material on Identity and Access Control : weekly interviews with product team members, developer how-tos, news, aggregated resources and more. There will be content for identity experts and those just getting started with the topic; content for developers and for IT Pros; discussions at the architecture level and step-by-step code guides

I won’t make names, of course, but somebody in the Identirati community often insinuates that Vittorio is card-centric .
