The University of Florida's existing home-grown, cookie-based authentication system (GLAuth) has security problems and must be replaced. In addition, the university needs to support federated authentication services for interaction with contracted service providers. Shibboleth has been deployed at the university to replace GLAuth. Eli Ben-Shoshan is the technical lead for this project.
More information about the UF implementation here:

Shibboleth is an Internet2 Middleware Initiative project that has created an architecture and open-source implementation for federated identity-based authentication and authorization infrastructure based on Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). Federated identity allows for information about users in one security domain to be provided to other organizations in a federation. This allows for cross-domain single sign-on and removes the need for content providers to maintain user names and passwords. Identity providers (IdPs) supply user information, while service providers (SPs) consume this information and get access to secure content.
7:40 - 8:00 Tech Talk - all you can eat!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Google has released Gemini CLI, a new open-source AI command-line interface that brings the full capabilities of its Gemini 2.5 Pro model directly into developers’ terminals. Designed for flexibility, transparency, and developer-first workflows, Gemini CLI provides high-performance, natural language AI assistance through a lightweight, locally accessible interface.
By Robert KrzaczyńskiAt the Databricks Data+AI Summit, held in San Francisco, USA, from June 10 to 12, Databricks announced that it is contributing the technology behind Delta Live Tables (DLT) to the Apache Spark project, where it will be called Spark Declarative Pipelines. This move will make it easier for Spark users to develop and maintain streaming pipelines, and furthers Databrick’s commitment to open source.
By Patrick FarryArtificial intelligence excels at refining language and processing large text volumes, but lacks human-like contextual reasoning and emotional intelligence, Avraham Poupko said. Many human traits come into play when doing software architecture. As an architect, he suggests using AI for exploring tradeoffs and refining language with clarity and precision.
By Ben LindersDorota Parad shares the BLISS framework (Bulkheads, Levels, Impact, Simplicity, Pit of Success), explaining how we can eliminate productivity sacrifices made in the name of security. She discusses optimizing security practices to reduce friction, improve developer experience, and build more resilient systems that meet compliance without hindering innovation.
By Dorota ParadPhil Calçado, CEO of Outropy, shared key insights at the InfoQ Dev Summit on scaling generative AI products. He highlighted the need for effective workflows and agents in AI development, advocating for iterative approaches that leverage proven software engineering principles. His insights promise to guide teams in building resilient AI systems without reinventing the wheel.
