Last night's OpenID Mashpit went well. Despite demoing some code still under very active development, and having our internet connection drop in the middle of it - it was nice to show off some of the stuff I've been working on lately in a crowd that "gets it". More interesting, however, was getting a chance to talk about and get some clarification on certain aspects. In particular, I feel like I have a much better idea of the vision behind Attribute Exchange and how it should ideally work. If nothing else, getting to just chat about "Identity 2.0" with Dick was a treat.

Other bits of interest: we stood up a work-in-progress OpenID Provider (OP) for Bryght at home.bryght.com (using all native drupal code). It's *very* much still a work in progress, but also one of the earliest OP's "in the wild" to support the 2.0 draft spec (or most of it anyway). Similarly, SXIP has a demo Relying Party (RP) that supports attribute exchange - that will come in handy for testing against.

Thanks again to the folks at SXIP for hosting a great event, and thanks to everyone who showed up!

As mentioned by Boris, I'm headed to Vancouver this week to take part in the OpenID Mashpit hosted by SXIP. Yes, it's true I'll be showing off some Drupal OpenID code that I've been working on (along with Rowan Kerr who deserves a ton of credit). I'm pretty excited about it... I feel like I've been working on identity-related code for lots of years now (like 2!) so it'll be nice to get to hang out with others "in the field".

If you're not already on the list (and in the Vancouver area), come on out!
