Hi guys,
OIDF has agreed to host the OIDC libraries that I helped Google build.
They also understand that they must fund the maintenance of the libraries.
To make it more concrete they want the Python packages (which are the
only one that are done) to be moved to the
OIDF GitHub site within the next couple of weeks.
This means that the cryptojwt, oidcmsg, oidcservice and oidcrp repos
will be moved away from IdentityPython.
I people don’t disagree I’d like to keep the OP side repo oidcendpoint
and oidc-op (not there yet) at IdentityPython.
And of course all the repos that has to do with OIDC identity federations.
Several questions spring to mind... for instance:
- What governance is the OIDF putting in place?
Absolutely no idea.
- Is IdentityPython ok depending/relying on what the
OIDF delivers?
Don’t know. I would, be since I would expect most of the contributers to
come out of the IdentityPython crowed and it looks like I
will have the job as chief maintainer. So, if you trust me to look after
your needs … :-)
- Does this mean IdentityPython have to roll our own
OIDC-stack now?
I really hope not. We don’t need one more.
- We have a process for moving stuff into
IdentityPython but no
process for moving stuff out - what if IdentityPython wants to keep
(a fork of) the OIDF stack?
Depends on whether IdentityPython has needs that are not covered by what
is happening with the OIDF copy. I don’t forsee any such needs right now.
These questions are probably best treated like the
starting point of
a dialogue with the OIDF.
Cheers Leif
