Congratulations Robert!
I think we should take the story to the web. Should we?

Hello from OpenID Switzerland (OpenID Local Chapter),
I just want to share some information on what happened in the first
quarter 2010 on the topic OpenID here in Switzerland.
Geneva OpenID & OWASP Application Security Forum 2010
We see that the term OpenID gets more and more a topic in
Switzerland. We had a public OpenID and OWASP event called "Geneva
Application Security Forum 2010" in Geneva, Switzerland on March 4th
which was a huge success. See also at:

We aimed to bring about 50-80 people together and we ended up (after
increasing the conference room two times) with more than 250
registered people and more than 200 attending. We realized that
there is a demand for people in the topics strong authentication in
conjunction with OpenID / OWASP.
A big THANK-YOU to Sylvain Maret (Swiss French Area Delegate for
OpenID Switzerland) and Antonio Fontes (OWASP Geneva Local Chapter)
and many others for all the preparation work before, at, and after
the event. We also thank Yubico which sponsored 200 YubiKey's (http://www.yubico.com
) to deliver strong authentication OpenID capabilities with
YubiKey's for ALL attending users.
SuisseID goes OpenID
It is also a pleasure to inform you that the project ‘SuisseID goes
OpenID” of Clavid got accepted for funding by the SuisseID project j
ury in order to provide easy-to-use OpenID capability for SuisseID.
SuisseID is the national e-ID of Switzerland launched on May 1st 2010.
Every owner of a SuisseID is therefore capable to use OpenID with
SuisseID. That gives direct access OpenID enabled sites using the
strong authentication possibility of SuisseID. As a result, the
SuisseID can be used for thousands of web sites already enabled for
OpenID.
Just one month before the actual SuisseID launch, Clavid’s OpenID se
rvice is already fully SuisseID enabled and therefore the first publ
ic online service supporting SuisseID.
For additional information go to the Clavid web site at clavid.com/suisseid
Videos on how to use SuisseID with OpenID are available at Vimeo
What Swiss People Wish from OpenID
We asked some people what they would expect from OpenID. Many of
them stated that they wish that more BIG internet services would
accept OpenID as relaying parties. Names such as Google, Yahoo,
LinkedIn, XING, etc. got especially named that they should allow
users to use their OpenID to access such services. Many people do
also not recognize that Facebook is already a BIG OpenID relying
party because there is no 'Login with OpenID' button on the
Facebook's login screen. If the OIDF could talk to responsible
people at those companies and convince them about allowing OpenID
based login to their services, I think many people would appreciate
it.
That's about it from Switzerland for the 1 quarter 2010
