[OpenID - Eu] State of OpenID in Europe

[Chris Obdam]

For Holland:

We have one major OP: MijnOpenID.nl and two smaller ones. The smaller  
ones have upgraded their user accounts to OpenID user accounts.
In the first months of 2007 we had a great amount of press coverage  
in Holland. One national radioshow and several interviews and articles.

At the moment we are talking to some major Dutch global players. Like  
hyves.nl and eBuddy.com Some educational organisation are  
implementing OpenID right now. Two dutch Digg clones are already  
supporting OpenID at the moment.

In the coming months we (in Holland) will be busy with further  
upgrades of the major OP. The Dutch OpenID organisation is officially  
in the making. Some internet hot shots will be advisory board member.  
Which is good for promotion!

Hope to have 1 big Dutch international player on board at the end of  
the year!

Programming is done in RoR.
