[OpenID] Announcing Glynx: a p2p OpenID provider and platform for social communication

[Peter Williams]

There was nothing wrong with your announcement. It was no different to many other similar announcements -- that went without "punitive comment".

Don't be defensive, just become someone here issues a challenge. The community is a broad movement, of which the Foundation is only one element (initiated  to try and mitigate open warfare over undisclosed patent claims being imputed by large corporations over certain openid modes, flows and designs).

If I take a guess, your announcement's focus on p2p management culture  probably annoyed some folk in the Foundation -  who are apparently focused on engineering a rather different world order: one based on centralized discovery and assertion making by TTPs with mega-brands. I'd like to see a world in which both p2p and the mega-brands are equally valid and equally viable - but recognize that I'm probably in a tiny minority, these days, as openid goes corporate.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the heads-up. I've been following this list for a while now, trying to get a feel for the posting conventions.  When I saw the announcement of DotnetOpenAuth the other day (and the favourable responses) I thought that an announcement may be OK.

Anyway, Glad to be here :-)

regards,

Greg.

This list is for discussing issues and topics relevant to OpenID; not product pitches or press releases.

That said, welcome to the list and congratulations on releasing an OpenID-based product. We look forward to your contributions to the specs, libraries and various working groups! ;)

Chris

Hi OpenID list,

re: Announcing Glynx:  a p2p OpenID provider and platform for social communication

Glynx (www.glynx.com<http://www.glynx.com>) has just introduced the world's first social communication platform that works peer-to-peer.  Like many web 2.0 products it is about creating one or more online personas and sharing information with others.  Unlike every other web 2.0 application there is no central database - your details are stored on your PC and only shared with others under your control - via encrypted connections.

Glynx affords its users true privacy and control.  Glynx also provides a self-provisioned PKI and password-less OpenID solution.  OpenID authentications using Glynx result in local UI interactions on your PC.  No server anywhere stores a userid/password pair for you.

Glynx has been in a quiet beta phase for some time now, however we're starting to publicise this release.

Please visit the site for more information, blog posts and whitepapers.  And of course feel free to download Glynx and give it a spin.

Thanks for your time.
