Hello everyone!

I am off course also available for developing a new OpenID Europe  
website. I do Ruby/Rails programming only, although I have experience  
in PHP programming, haven't done it since 2005..

Has someone already volunteerd to do the design of the website? That  
should be a nice start I guess?

Maybe we can start an Basecamp to collaberate?

Greetings,

Chris
OpenID Holland
