I regret that I'll be unable to attend.  I'd love to be there.

It's in the Shibboleth Wiki(and this is the Shibboleth list), though, isn't it?

It makes me sad that we can't replace "the integration guides would document Shib and any docs from an SP" with "metadata" or "portable config".  The IDaaS vendors that have "canned" integrations are very, very compelling to deployers.  Very.

Thanks for taking the time to respond,
Nate.
