[OpenID - Eu] Invitation for the OSOR.eu workshop on eID

[Martin Paljak]

Hi.

I've been pinged before about the OSOR.eu topic. I could bring in two  
separate topics: OpenID and OpenSC. One is about more broad, open  
internet ID (OpenID) and OpenSC is the open source smartcard framework  
that supports most if not all EU smart card based eID cards.

Here in Estonia both are used in tandem - there is a mixed opens  
source/open standards stack from the eID scheme via OpenSC software  
bundles up to OpenID identifiers in the web.
