The goal of the ICU-DG is to provide a means for Kantara Initiative participants to remain up to date with the status of tracked identity projects, both within as well as external to Kantara Initiative. There are a number of projects that, for various reasons, are not visible enough to Kantara Initiative participants, let alone the wider community. The projects will be identified and tracked by the ICU-DG which will release updates as a weekly podcast series tentatively titled the "Identity Matters Podcast: A Kantara Initiative".
Activities of the ICU-DG podcast series will include:
- Weekly podcasts (three per month) of recorded interviews about specific Podcast episodes of discussions about tracked projects.
- Monthly podcast of a teleconference in which participants provide short updates on various tracked Podcast episodes of updates on Kantara Initiative projects.
- RSS feed of blog posts highlighting tracked projects and associated links referenced in each podcastBlog posts associated with each podcast episode that include summaries, related information, and referenced links.
NOTE: The ICU-DG is not intended as a forum for doing work on the tracked projects or debating their merits per se, but rather as a mechanism for quickly and easily sharing update reports.
