I’ve had a lot of different projects, communities and people come to me and say “Hey, I want to learn more about OpenID and I’d really like some help on implementing it for my site.” Ask for and ye shall receive.
I’m excited to announce what I hope is the first of many Mash Pit: OpenID events. We really wanted to do an event that was more hacking than talks. We figured doing something like a MashPit was the best way to do that. We’ll have a good group of OpenID-savvy people here that day covering languages like PHP, Ruby, Python, Perl and others. Bring your laptop and yourself and we’ll help you OpenID enable your application, site or kitchen sink.
The first event will be 1/17/2006 at 4pm here in beautiful Portland, OR and hosted by JanRain (full-disclosure: these guys are awesome)*. More information can be found at the wiki or the Upcoming.org listing.
