To follow up on the event, it was a rather large success, I'd say, with representatives from OMB, GSA, State, DOD and other acronymatic orgs. Dave and I presented on the DiSo Project and had a round-table discussion on OpenID for the government, which was received very well.
The government seems eager to learn more about OpenID, and I think our attendance (and Dave's/OIDF's sponsorship) was money well spent.
