EditorialThe JANET Training team continues to deliver a portfolio of courses across the country. Fifteen courses were run this quarter, delivered in Manchester, Newcastle, Bristol, Glasgow, London and Birmingham. This has included runs of the new "Implementing Shibboleth at your Organisation" and "Introduction to the UK federation" courses, as well as various security courses, "Introduction to JANET" and "Basic Router Configuration". The UK federation continues to grow, with 493 members at the end of July. This is a jump of 143 new members since the last quarter; an indication of the increased number of web resources available through the UK federation framework. Approximately 85% of HE institutions and 45% of FE institutions in the UK have now joined, and a number of Local Authorities and Regional Broadband Consortia are starting to roll out federated access management to their schools in time for the new academic year.
