2010 Series of OpenID Summits are a key success factor for the OpenID
Foundation. The OpenID Summit in Chicago pulled together a large and
diverse group of relying parties who benefitted not only from updates from
identity providers but also from discussions on a wide range of implementation
issues. The recently concluded, OpenID Summit West, focused exclusively
on advancing the state of the OpenID “product.” The
Technology Committee’s Summit agenda deliberately linked the discussions
of technology with new working group action plans. Co Hosts Microsoft and
Google made possible a much needed community analysis of development issues
supported by the ongoing support of the OIDF tech committee.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

in the past with IIW, there will be planned synergies between the OpenID agenda
and the EEMA. We are soliciting IdP’s and RP’s for the summit and
maybe a special offer to visit the EEMA conference. We are looking into the
options to present an OpenID profile that matches the stork/ open identity
profile. </span><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>This
is an important outreach opportunity for the foundation and a chance for
developers, identity providers and relying parties to exchange

present on the 8<sup>th</sup> and use this opportunity to extend the adoption

information please contact John Bradley or myself:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
