Want to learn more about OpenID 2.0 and spend an evening hacking on the new code? Join Sxip at an OpenID 2.0 Mash Pit evening in the New Year in Vancouver. There will be simultaneous events that night in Portland and other locations, with a live webcast amongst us. OpenID is an emerging Identity 2.0 standard for exchanging identity data on the internet. This is for people to come and hack on OpenID 2.0 and figure out how to make it work for their sites or applications.

We'll do a brief introduction on OpenID 2.0 and the new stuff you can do with it such as attribute exchange with the email verification service, and then break out into small groups to help people actually dig into the "doing" of OpenID enabling their site. The goal? More hacking, less talking.

When: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 - 4 pm until we're done
Where: Vancouver, BC - Sxip Identity, 798 Beatty St. (corner of Robson & Beatty)
Why: Find out more about the cool new features in OpenID 2.0! See how it can help internet users and sites alike with web single sign-on and exchanging data online
Who: Anyone interested in learning more about OpenID 2.0, how easy it is to get a free OpenID account with Sxipper, and/or how to OpenID enable their website
RSVP: Please email if you can attend, so that we'll have enough snacks and beverages on hand for everyone

Remember to bring your laptops. Sxip will supply lots of wifi, snacks and drinks...
