Blogroll update

Finally I have time to post some links to blogs and news feeds which I have recently discovered…

• Chuck Mortimore. What can I say? Super-deployment engineer on Access Manager (then called Identity Server) when I moved onto the product – a sad loss to Sun when he moved to Green Giant, or whatever they’re called .
• Eric Norlin is VP of Strategic Marketing at Ping Identity. I got to meet Eric at Digital ID World last week – a nice guy and always a good read.
• Jamie Lewis is the CEO and Research Chair of the Burton Group – network/identity industry analysts. When I first got into identity management proper, as product manager of Sun’s Meta-Directory, I spent the first two weeks on the job just reading Burton reports – a very efficient way to get up to speed.
• Anyway – Lauren Wood’s day job is senior technical program manager in the CTO’s office, but she still finds time to help me out with web page layout for demos – most notably last week’s Sun/Microsoft web single sign-on demo.
• Discovering Identity promises to be essential reading – Mark Dixon is a practice lead in Sun’s Identity Management sales practice.
• tnt are Trusted Network Technology. It would be difficult to meet a nicer bunch of guys – hi Derek, Dave, Bob, Doug – and really cool technology to boot. They attach an identity token to packets at the IP level, then filter them throughout the network. A company to watch.
• Good Morning Silicon Valley – my daily dose of tech news. Always entertaining.
