Friday. The end of a long week. There isn’t much I like better than to kick back with a bottle of India Pale Ale*. Usually a fine craft brew from Stone, Dogfish Head, Victory, or Clipper City/Heavy Seas.
Tonight, though, is a departure. There is a new brand of IPA to be had: FreeIPA 1.0.
Congratulations to our friends in the FreeIPA project on their 1.0 release!
I’m really proud that Red Hat has initiated this and is committed to making it an upstream project. I think there is a lot of value there for us in the Free Software community. Microsoft and Apple already integrate with similar technology but we can do better. Check it out, hack on it, contribute. 1.0 is just the beginning.
* Technically American India Pale Ale
I feel compelled to mention that I used to work really close to Stone (still live pretty close). It’s a gorgeous place, and the food is really freaking good. I like the tofu stir fry. Decent beer garden, too.
/me wants to go eat at Stone now
About this FreeIPA thing, I’ve looked at the page, but I still don’t really know what it is. “Integrated security information management solution” isn’t very informative.
FreeIPA offers similar functionality to Windows Server domain, right?
