[OpenID] OpenID + Government

[Peter Williams]

"My proposal called on the federal government to run an OpenID server for all its agencies, mostly because I want the government to kick the habit of using commercial services for such essential information-age functions. (See my earlier blogs, Five projects for Open Source for America<http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2009/07/five-projects-for-open-source.html> and themes from the Personal Democracy Forum conference<http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/06/personal-democracy-forum-confe.html#miscellaneous>."
