It is my pleasure to announce the first release of myVocs box, an integrated collaboration platform. myVocs box is a virtual machine that delivers the technologies that drive myVocs.org wrapped up in a
self-contained system that's ready for you to enjoy.

Please visit http://myvocs-box.myvocs.org for details on the three simple steps to download, run, and enjoy a collaboration platform of your own.

The technologies in this release of myVocs box include:

* A complete Shibboleth 1.3 identity system (IdP and SP)
* Simple collaboration group setup and management via Sympa
* Flexible resource integration powered by YubNub

the myVocs demo went well and along with Jim's work, seems to make a very nice system environment. struck again how clearly bogger.com, technocati's and del.icio.us have the potential to become the major new applications of you desktop with these technologies. amazing to see the type of system experience that can be defined with so many interfaces available. interesting trend graphs to namespace creation and management.

am working on getting the demo in an on-line followable version and will add a link when I ha

!Pre-requisites

Installed ruby with up2date on fc3 and installed the "gem" tool that seems
to be the equiv of cpan and pear. During my install I also found that I
was missing irb and rdoc which are two ruby tools. After some more poking
I realized I could install them with up2date and that cleared up the ruby
