Yesterday marked the end of the Vancouver PHP conference, which was a lot of fun and went quite well (I thought). I led two sessions : one on OpenID (with Johnny Bufu from SXIP). For those who don't know, I've been working a lot lately on getting OpenID support into Drupal - and it was nice to demo some of that work. I also covered how to use JanRain's PHP Library to OpenID-enable your PHP app (check out the slides here).
I also led a session on beginning Drupal module development. Those of you who attended the DrupalCon in Brussels may remember this as the infamous pants talk - always a crowd pleaser ;)
Thanks a lot to the organizers and sponsors from Vancouver PHP, I had a great time. Oh, and a special thank to Shane from ActiveState - part of the speaker shwag package was a license to Komodo IDE. I've heard good things about the latest Komodo, can't wait to check it out.
Drupal module
Is a 5.1 version expected?
Yes absolutely!
The big delay in getting a 5.1 version out the door, is I've been spending sometime getting things broken up and separated (we're looking towards putting at least the consumer / relying party bits in core for drupal6) and it's much easier to do that kind of overhaul while focusing on a single version. However, I'm getting close on that at which point i'll forward port everything to HEAD and Drupal 5. Stay tuned, i'll make some noise here as things progress :)
Thank you!
I (along with another developer) recently resumed work on the phpBB MOD, so I guess this makes us colleagues :D
The reason for me asking was the new phpbb-openid site running Drupal 5.1. I'll be looking forward to installing your module as soon as it's ready!
Vancouver is beautiful

Must have been fun
The conference must have been fun. I have never been to Vancouver, though.
