I learned of OpenID because I ran across it while blogging.
Otherwise, in

it.
While this list is to discuss specifications, this begs the
question of
should we create specifications around how to get the word out
better to all
of my industry peers.
Noticed that folks from Verisign were key players in the creation
of this
spec, yet it is not prominently mentioned on their web site. If you
know to
search for it, it still only returns two results. What do we need
to do to
get Verisign and the other large guys (small guys are covered) to
show a
little more respect towards OpenID in terms of their own web site?
Good question for VeriSign!
I ran across The : Authentication and Online Trust Alliance and their
upcoming conference (http://www.aotalliance.org/summit2007/) and
noted that
no one is talking about stuff in our space. Does anyone have a list
of all
planned 2007 conferences where OpenID should be discussed?
I don't have ALL conferences, but here are some that I known of:
Catalyst, Digital ID World, Gartner IdM.
Additionally, there are the Web 2.0 and O'Reilly Emerging tech
conferences.
I am speaking at a couple of CERT conferences and the W3C conference
as well as a couple European IdM conferences.
Also curious if anyone has been pushing the industry analyst crowd to
provide coverage? If not, I will need lots of folks to start
submitting
inquiries to Gartner, Forrester and the Burton Group to get them to
pay
attention.
I have briefed Gartner, Forrester and the Burton Group on OpenID and
the user-centric model.
User-centric identity was discussed in several presentations at the
last Catalyst conference. At that time, SXIP/DIX and OpenID had not
converged and DIX had more prominence.
