Questions are better discussed here: https://github.com/aspnet/Security/issues

As for LinkedIn, no, we don't plan to add a middleware for it. However, you can use the generic OAuth middleware as shown here: https://github.com/aspnet/Security/blob/dev/samples/SocialSample/Startup.cs#L127-L185

FYI, the LinkedIn provider will be ported to ASP.NET 5 by @jerriep, the guy who wrote the LI provider for OWIN/Katana: aspnet-contrib/AspNet.Security.OAuth.Providers#11

In the meantime, using the generic OAuth2 middleware - as suggested by @Tratcher - is your best option.
