Congratulations! I am very glad you found your way into OpenID via Drupal as well. This is great. How is your membership doing? Really well I hope.<br><br>cheers,<br>-bill<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: John Coble <jcoble@unity08.com><br>To: Bill Washburn <billhwashburn@yahoo.com><br>Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2007 9:33:55 AM<br>Subject: Re: OpenID provider / developer question<br><br>Bill,<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Just a brief note. Things are going really well at Unity08.com In fact we just released our
new Site (rel 2.0) Oct. 31st and it has been very well received by the membership. We're using an OpenSource content mgt system (Drupal) for the site and we found an OpenID module that we've tweaked for our purposes and will be rolling it out w/ the 2.1 release scheduled for Nov 29th. So by the end of the mth we should be OpenID enabled!</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Regards,</div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><div style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;

The last one also included Mike Jones and Pat Mangiacotti at BackgroundChecks because as an independent political movement Unity08 is in the midst of building it's user base to a couple of million by next Spring and they can benefit from incorporating OpenID. Could we have a conversation with them about who would be a good person/organization for them to work with to adopt OpenID? Maybe later this week or next
week?<br><br>cheers,<br>-bill<br><br><br></div></div></span></blockquote></div><br></div></div></div><br></div></div></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></blockquote></div><br></div></div><br></div></div></body></html>
