<p>Dear midPoint community,</p>
<p>This year midPoint will be on <a
href="https://tiimeworkshop.eu/agenda/">TIIME</a>. That is <a
href="https://tiimeworkshop.eu/">Trust and Internet Identity
Meeting Europe</a>. It takes place in Vienna. We will be
conducting a full-day user group meeting. This is something not to
be missed.</p>
<p>MidPoint community is distributed all around the globe. Although
we are in a virtual touch quite often, there is nothing as a
direct personal discussion. Part of midPoint community <a
href="https://evolveum.com/thank-you-eu-fossa-2-for-organizing-hackathon/">met
in Brussels last year</a>, which was also the first global
midPoint meetup. It was a great event with a lot of enlightening
discussions. Unfortunately, the capacity of that event was limited
and not everybody could get in. That event made us realize how
important are those meetings. Therefore we have decided to try it
again, but we will make the event completely open this time. And
then there came the TIIME workshop, located in a very interesting
city which is also very close to our home base. An ideal
opportunity.</p>
<p>TIIME is a very interesting workshop based on an unconference
format. It is small, very informal and welcoming environment. We
took the opportunity to use one day before the main unconference
to conduct a midPoint user group meeting. The agenda is very
simple:</p>
<p>Morning:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The state of midPoint</strong> by Radovan Semančík. I
will be summarizing recent releases, development works and
high-level plans for next releases. There are some important
decisions to make and it looks like exciting time are ahead of
us. There will be a lot to talk about.</li>
<li><strong>What’s hot in midPoint</strong> by Katarína
Valaliková. Katka will introduce new features of midPoint 4.0.
She will also talk about recent development work on midPoint
4.1. Katka can show you midPoint 4.1 development fresh from the
oven.</li>
</ul>
<p>Afternoon:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Discussions, talks and a bit of debate</strong> by
everybody. TIIME is an unconference and we all love that format.
Therefore we have decided that we will not set any fixed agenda
for an afternoon. I’m quite sure that there will be a lot of
questions and suggestions during the morning talks. Therefore we
will take those topics and use them to create an agenda for
afternoon. Completely improvised. Based on your demand and
including your involvement. If you have anything worth sharing
with midPoint community this will be your chance to do it. We
have whole afternoon for that.</li>
</ul>
<p>I’m really looking forward to this event. I would like to meet
with you and have a lot of discussions. Katka and Igor will be
there as well. And we will probably bring a couple more developers
with us. There will be lot of opportunities to talk about
midPoint.</p>
<p>The midPoint user group takes place on Monday 17th February.
Admission to the one-day user group event is free. However, we
more than recommend to stay for the entire TIIME unconference.
There will be <em>Open Source Identity and Access Management</em>
workshop on Tuesday. One full day of talks and discussions
dedicated to open source IAM projects. Evolveum team will be
there. Due to a strong improvisation spirit that is typical for
TIIME the agenda for this OSS IAM workshop is not set yet. But
judging from last year topics this can be a very interesting
meeting indeed. Last year there were members from many projects,
including OpenLDAP, Syncope, midPoint, ConnId, Apache Directory,
WSO2 and CAS. And then there is a main unconference on Wednesday
and Thursday. The content of unconference is almost completely
created by the participants. We plan to participate and it is very
likely that some of the content will be related to identity
provisioning, governance, connectors or even midPoint. It is all
up to you.</p>
<p>Come and join us 17th-20th of February in Vienna. We are really
looking forward to meet you and have a lot of interesting
discussions.</p>
