eduroam(UK) Technical Specification
The purpose of this document is to call for ideas from the community and to provide space for contributions towards development of the eduroam(UK) Technical Specification beyond the current 1.3 which was released in June 2013. In the last 2 and a half years a number of issues have arisen and technical evolution has taken place. Version 1.4 will incorporate relatively minor updates that have been identified, but we are still open to suggestions for change. It is planned to release 1.4 during Q1 of 2016.
