[OpenID] Clippinger and the Berkman Center

[Brian Hamlin]

Did John Clippinger stand on stage at Gov 2.0 this week and claim that 
*he* and the Berkman center organized the Internet identity community, 
leading to OpenID, among other things ??

Did Mr. Clippinger neglect to give due credit to the Internet Identity 
Workshop, the first occurrence of which was held in Berkeley, 
California ?

Without being present, this appears to me to be an outrageous attempt 
at institutionally backed grand standing, ignoring real grass roots 
organizing, attempting to re-write history and take credit for the 
enormous undertaking that has become OpenID.
