<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>The 2010 Series of OpenID Summits
are a key area of investment and outreach for the OpenID Foundation. The
OpenID Summit in Chicago pulled together a large and diverse group of relying
parties who benefitted not only from updates from identity providers but also from
discussions on a wide range of implementation issues. As Summit hosts, the
Sears team made resources available for both those onsite as well as teleconferencing
with Google facilities in Washington DC and California. Much of the
Adoption Committee’s budget plans and priorities were generated by
discussions at the Chicago Summit. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>The recently concluded, OpenID Summit
West, focused exclusively on advancing the state of the core OpenID “product.”
The Technology Committee’s agenda deliberately linked the discussions of
technology with new working group action plans. Co Hosts Microsoft and
Google made possible a much needed community analysis of development issues that
could be supported sustained by the ongoing support of the OIDF tech committee.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:#1F497D'>Microsoft has agreed
to host a one day OpenID Summit UK at the CP Auditorium on the 8<sup>th</sup> June.
The Summit will be sponsored by the OIDF, at no/low cost and is not affiliated
with the European e-Identity Management Conference. The cloud and security
oriented European e-Identity Management Conference 2010 will be held in London
on 9-10 June 2010 at Cardinal Place, 100 Victoria Street. </span><span

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:#1F497D'>This is an important outreach
opportunity for the foundation and a chance for developers, identity providers
and relying parties to exchange information. I encourage OIDF Sustaining
and corporate members commit early to presentations on the 8<sup>th</sup> and
use this opportunity to extend the adoption and technology committee
discussions to this venue. To propose presentations and for further information
please contact John Bradley or myself:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
