What is the connect between Liberty Alliance and openLiberty?
The effort was launched under the leadership of Jason Rouault of HP with the assistance of more than 40 Liberty members participating in the discussions. Some of the lead contributors to the planning were from AOL, Entr’ouvert, HP, Intel, Internet2, Neustar, Nokia, Novell, Sun Microsystems, Symlabs, and NTT. This team started out by looking around at the various open source projects that were implementing ID-WSF or SAML 2.0. They concluded that no other project was specifically focused on ID-WSF 2.0 WSC libraries in Java, .Net, and LAMP (yet these were recognized as being requirements in the market today). Therefore they helped Liberty Alliance bootstrap this project. Liberty Alliance maintains an arms-length relationship with openLiberty which is self-governed.
