Drupal awarded OpenID Bounty!

Drupal awarded OpenID Bounty!

OK, so I knew it was coming, but I'm super excited to announce that Drupal was amongst the first 3 projects to be awarded the $5000 USD bounty. The award comes for the work I was involved in bringing OpenID support to Drupal 6. Interestingly, Drupal was the only PHP-based application awarded in this initial round, the other two being Plone (written in Python) and DotNetNuke (written in VB.NET).

Before you start asking me for a beer, the money is being sent directly to the Drupal Association. :)

Thank you to the OpenID Foundation, specifically Scott Kveton, for putting together the bounty. And thanks to everyone in the Drupal community for continuing to be on the front-end of new technologies.

To my understanding the issue lies on the protocol itself and its lack of security.

Great! Thanks

OpenID goes from strength-to-strength!

I've been a strong proponent of OpenID for a couple of years now, but I was never sure if it was just an old geek's pipe dream, or whether it would actually take off.

Now with support of almost all the major Internet players, this is starting to take force.

The dream of single-sign-on "done well" lives on, and it might soon be a great reality!

great accomplishment, but i too question the security of that sort of central authentication.. with in one organisation across multiple applications then i'd be happy with, spreading it across other organisations is a bad thing, whats stopping someone to create phishing landing pages, people will freely put in their details etc.
