<p class=MsoNormal>Well, speaking for Ireland, interest is still quite low.
That's probably typical of a small country though ;) with relatively few major
portal sites.<br>
<br>
On the Irish front I've been blogging about OpenID topics to a predominantly
PHP using community (I get aggregated in Planet-PHP so hopefully that spreads
the word well) and I am finishing an OpenID 2.0 library for two main audiences
- those who use PEAR (PHP Extension and Application Repository) and the new RAD
Zend Framework for PHP5. So from my side, my personal role is largely getting
the ability to implement OpenID into the PHP5 committed community who are
building many of the web applications OpenID users may want to log into in the
future. It's a narrow contribution, but the Zend Framework at least has put
OpenID on a high priority listing so there's a lot of PHP focus on it right
now. I'm working with Dmitry Stogov at Zend Technologies to start things moving
- likely September will see a major push.<br>
<br>
I have discussed OpenID with other Irish developers and it's certainly gaining
interest here. I think a lot of people seem to be waiting for a final whistle -
when OpenID 2.0 loses that (Draft 11) suffix! I think at that point a lot of
developers will take more notice.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<br>
<br>
don't you think it would be interesting, if we'd summarize OpenID<br>
related efforts in our countries? Just a short summary, containing<br>
estimated number of RP's, OP's and other developments in this area?<br>
<br>
I can start.<br>
<br>
In Poland there is one "major" OP (OpenID.pl which is my project,<br>
based on earlier version of PiP). There were 2 another OP's not<br>
operating right now. We assigned about 2000 identites.<br>
<br>
We have several RP's: 10-20 weblogs, one 2000+ weblog host<br>
(jogger.pl), and a few vortal sites, but still none of the major<br>
players joined as RP/OP (we have market strongly divided by 4-5 "first<br>
league" horizontal portals).<br>
<br>
The interest in OpenID was strong in the first months of 2007. This<br>
included some significant media presence. At the moment OpenID isn't<br>
particularly hot topic. I'm convinced that in few weeks we can expect<br>
one of the "second league" portal site to act as both RP/OP.<br>
<br>
In the late 2006 I started Identity20.pl initiative: non-formal effort<br>
for promoting user-centric identity. We have weblog and wiki (and<br>
OpenID.pl server of course). Both resources are not very frequently<br>
updated, but still bringing some interest to OpenID.<br>
<br>
What's the state of OpenID in your country?<br>
<br>
best regards,<br>
<br>
