<p class=MsoNormal>Each of the OpenID Summits this year has had its own purpose
and personality. The Summit in Chicago brought the RP perspective and
adoption committee agenda to life. The Tech Summit Mountain View kicked off a
new set of working groups. The OpenID Summit in London opened up a two
way exchange – Google, CA Tech, Microsoft and others provided updates and
a variety of EU OpenID initiatives were debated and described. Ilan Caron
demo’’ed the Google/Yahoo! email project. Kim Cameron pointed out the
challenges of channeling diverse engineering creativity into standards processes
and underlined the differences in “enterprise development time versus consumer
cloud time.” <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>One of the success metrics of the Summit will be increased visibility
and coordination on the pilots underway in Belgium, Germany and elsewhere. Mike
Jones reviewed all OIDF planned and authorized working groups with intent to
solicit increase international participation. Combining the OpenID Summit with
the OASIS and EEMA meetings provided the hoped for synergies and encouragement
for similar events later in the year. One benefit of a directed funding model
might open up funding options of OpenID Europe by local companies. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks again to the Microsoft team for hosting, John Bradley
and Kick Willemse for developing the agenda and all participants for another
successful Summit. <o:p></o:p></p>
