Well, speaking for Ireland, interest is still quite low. That's probably typical of a small country though ;) with relatively few major portal sites.

On the Irish front I've been blogging about OpenID topics to a predominantly PHP using community (I get aggregated in Planet-PHP so hopefully that spreads the word well) and I am finishing an OpenID 2.0 library for two main audiences - those who use PEAR (PHP Extension and Application Repository) and the new RAD Zend Framework for PHP5. So from my side, my personal role is largely getting the ability to implement OpenID into the PHP5 committed community who are building many of the web applications OpenID users may want to log into in the future. It's a narrow contribution, but the Zend Framework at least has put OpenID on a high priority listing so there's a lot of PHP focus on it right now. I'm working with Dmitry Stogov at Zend Technologies to start things moving - likely September will see a major push.

I have discussed OpenID with other Irish developers and it's certainly gaining interest here. I think a lot of people seem to be waiting for a final whistle - when OpenID 2.0 loses that (Draft 11) suffix! I think at that point a lot of developers will take more notice.

Hi,

don't you think it would be interesting, if we'd summarize OpenID
related efforts in our countries? Just a short summary, containing
estimated number of RP's, OP's and other developments in this area?

I can start.

In Poland there is one "major" OP (OpenID.pl which is my project,
based on earlier version of PiP). There were 2 another OP's not
operating right now. We assigned about 2000 identites.

We have several RP's: 10-20 weblogs, one 2000+ weblog host
(jogger.pl), and a few vortal sites, but still none of the major
players joined as RP/OP (we have market strongly divided by 4-5 "first
league" horizontal portals).

The interest in OpenID was strong in the first months of 2007. This
included some significant media presence. At the moment OpenID isn't
particularly hot topic. I'm convinced that in few weeks we can expect
one of the "second league" portal site to act as both RP/OP.

In the late 2006 I started Identity20.pl initiative: non-formal effort
for promoting user-centric identity. We have weblog and wiki (and
OpenID.pl server of course). Both resources are not very frequently
updated, but still bringing some interest to OpenID.

What's the state of OpenID in your country?

best regards,
