[OpenID - Eu] State of OpenID in Europe

[Marcin Jagodziński]

Hi,

don't you think it would be interesting, if we'd summarize OpenID
related efforts in our countries? Just a short summary, containing
estimated number of RP's, OP's and other developments in this area?

I can start.

In Poland there is one "major" OP (OpenID.pl which is my project,
based on earlier version of PiP). There were 2 another OP's not
operating right now. We assigned about 2000 identites.

We have several RP's: 10-20 weblogs, one 2000+ weblog host
(jogger.pl), and a few vortal sites, but still none of the major
players joined as RP/OP (we have market strongly divided by 4-5 "first
league" horizontal portals).

The interest in OpenID was strong in the first months of 2007. This
included some significant media presence. At the moment OpenID isn't
particularly hot topic. I'm convinced that in few weeks we can expect
one of the "second league" portal site to act as both RP/OP.

In the late 2006 I started Identity20.pl initiative: non-formal effort
for promoting user-centric identity. We have weblog and wiki (and
OpenID.pl server of course). Both resources are not very frequently
updated, but still bringing some interest to OpenID.

What's the state of OpenID in your country?

best regards,
