<a href="https://www.sunet.se/" style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(70, 120, 134);">SUNET</a> has volunteered to host the event at their facilities in Sweden. They proposed these dates:</p>
<ul type="disc" style="margin-bottom: 0in;margin-top:0in">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin: 0in 0in 0in 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;margin-left:0in">
April 14-16</li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin: 0in 0in 0in 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;margin-left:0in">
April 28-30</li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">
We’re thinking of holding the event from noon to noon over the course of three days, which Roland recalls is how these have been done before.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">
If you’d like to participate, please reply-all letting us know which of those dates work for you.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">

The OpenID Foundation is planning to hold an in-person interop testing event for OpenID Federation implementations sometime in the coming months. I’m writing to ask who might be interested in participating. I’m also seeking feedback on where and when to hold
it.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">
Co-locating with an identity conference is one possibility. These are possible candidates:</p>
