Want to make it easy for your users to login and easily provide you up-to-date data, while ensuring their privacy is protected? Join us at the upcoming Vancouver PHP conference where Sxip's OpenID tech lead, Johnny Bufu, and Bryght co-founder, James Walker, will give a joint session for PHP developers on how simple it is to get up and running with OpenID 2.0.

An emerging Identity 2.0 protocol, OpenID is free, lightweight, and enables users to have single sign-on and attribute exchange with any OpenID-enabled site. The protocol is extensible, scalable to the long tail of the web, and has numerous open source libraries such as PhP, Perl, Python and Java (to name a few!). We'll discuss the past, current and future developments of this technology, and its supporting projects like Drupal, WordPress, and MediaWiki.
