Yes we should definitely submit proposals. My thoughts are we hold two events:
1. Technology Session - Open Source Identity Ecosystem Overview
Standard 45 minute talk discusses the group's mission and solution use cases.
2. Hackathon Event - Building the First Deployable Open Identity Ecosystem Deployable Solution
Combine a targeted subset of ecosystem components into a deployable, working solution onsite. Some of the objectives can be:
a. unified user interface
b. unified data storage
c. simplified installation procedures
d. test a set of heterogeneous sample applications and systems using the solution
