[OpenID board] BOARD VOTE: Motion to update Rails plugin and OpenID.net ...

[Scott Kveton]

Sorry for the all-caps ... just trying to get folks attention.

RPX was deployed onto the OIDF members page earlier this month and
there were a few concerns around the use of a non-vendor neutral
technology for something like foundation voting.  In addition, the
Ruby plugin for OpenID has not be upgraded to meet the 2.0
specification needs.  It was agreed to leave RPX in place until the
end of the election but I'd like to make a motion around fixing the
plugin and putting the membership software back where it was:

As per the attached proposal I would like the OIDF to engage Refresh
Media to update the Rails OpenID plugin and then deploy the OpenID
2.0-compliant version for the membership system.  Total cost will be
$1500-$2000 and the patches to the plugin will be submitted back to
the Ruby community as open source and available for all Rails users.
This motion will require responses from 7 board members with at least
4 +1's (57.1% in favor) from those responses by Wednesday 12/24/2008.
