<p class=MsoNormal>+1 to what Dave said. I'm embarrassed by the state of
support/community we have for our libraries.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I also think that we need to ramp up documentation across
the board, and also do more to provide social connectivity for OIDF members. I
think we need to provide both more tools to connect folks on the periphery of
OpenID (promotion of events, meetups and the like) and also publish an open To
Do list where members and interested parties can get involved and participate
in low-hanging, but essential, fruit.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I think that, though Brian's list is a great general start,
we need to consider our means, and the best way of distributing our work... I
would like to see us perform a number of surveys and user studies, and work
with companies to develop an archive of research related to user identity,
online behavior and similar relatively poorly understood areas.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Another goal I have is increasing
and improving the tools that are provided to developers around OpenID from
traditional libraries to testing tools to JavaScript-based user interface
components. The past six to nine months I've been hearing from many
members of the community around the World that the existing open
source libraries are falling behind and many larger implementations are writing
their own libraries rather than using those that exist. I think Google
Summer of Code might be one tactic to help us do this, but we need to work with
the community in putting together an overall strategy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Agreed, this will not be an

I'll try to organize our thoughts in a way that we can have a productive and
effective session and try not to rehash a lot that has been said in the
past. If possible, we should try to get agreement on the top few
initiatives and possibly some measures of success for each. If we have
time left over we can list potential programs and initiatives directed at
achieving the desired results. Here's what we have so far:</span><span

<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Thanks Luke, if you could book
a room for us from 9:30 to noon that would be great. My guess is we'll
have 8 to 10 board members who should be able to attend. I think the
following have expressed interest so far: Scott, David, Luke, Joseph, Andrew,
Raj, DeWitt, Eric, Chris, and Brian. Pretty sure that Tony, Mike, Nat,
and Snorri can't make it. Don't know about Gary.</span><span

<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><span
style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Luke, do you think you could
get us a room with a Polycom so we could allow anyone who can't make it in
person to call in?</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><span
style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>I'm open to topics that people
would like to discuss. One valuable area might be the thread that
Johannes and Nat have been moving forward w.r.t. key goals for 2009. Last
fall Johannes pulled together <a href="http://wiki.openid.net/Strategy"
target="_blank">a comprehensive list</a> of possible areas we should consider
addressing that included input from Snorri's and Nat's work as well as input
from various board members. We've recently emphasized a focus on UX
and Security, let's try to set some specific goals and measures for success for
these two areas. </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><span
style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Another theme that we've heard
from lots of prospective RPs is better and more consistent user profile data
from the major OPs (SREG, AX, OAuth). Is there a role for the OIDF to
help in this area, or is this something the individual OPs need to address for
themselves? If there is a role for the OIDF, what is it and how do we
measure our success? </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><span
style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>We also have a "chicken
and egg" problem where a number of content providers (media,
entertainment, affinity groups) say none of my peers or competitors have
deployed OpenID yet, I'll just wait until someone else goes first. So
what can the OIDF and member companies do to get some early adopters deployed
in each major category to "prime the pump?" Can we get some
early adopters in several categories: newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, sports,
games, personal productivity tools, college and corporate alumni networks,
photo sharing, etc.? If so, what are the specific programs that the OIDF
can undertake to facilitate this? </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><span
style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Then there's the general
challenge with mainstream awareness about OpenID and its benefits. When
and how do we cost effectively inform and educate RPs and end users of the
benefits? Seems premature to invest too much here until we've addressed
some of the issues of UX and getting more early adopter RPs live, but should we
have a goal to start doing more proactive outreach in the second half of 2009
assuming we can address the precursor issues in the first half?</span><span
style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><span
style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>We've started to make some
progress in commerce applications with Nat's success in Japan and the
discussions about TX/CX, but there's a lot more market research we need to do
to fully understand if, when, and how OpenID and other related open standards
could/should play a role in online commerce. Can we set some goals for
market research into retail applications for 2009? I've been working with
Andrew, Eric, Raj, and Nat on trying to set up a Retail Advisory Committee
similar to our Content Provider Advisory Committee to start doing some more
systematic research on the needs of retailers with respect to trust,
non-repudiation, PCI compliance, etc. Should we set some specific goals
and measures of success around understanding retailers' needs in 2009?</span><span
style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><span
style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>I think we all know that
there's a long list of things we could do, but if we can come to a consensus on
what the top 4 to 5 priorities are for the OIDF 2009, then we can put together
programs and measures of success for those key objectives. </span><span
style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Looking forward to a good
discussion.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
