Following last week's exciting announcement of numerous tech heavyweights joining the OpenID Foundation, it's great to see the new board move so quickly with their first meeting this week (you can follow their activities on the mailing lists). New to the board are: Google's DeWitt Clinton, IBM's Tony Nadalin, Microsoft's Mike Jones, VeriSign's Gary Krall, and Raj Mata with Yahoo!. Sxip's founder and CEO, Dick Hardt is a community member of the board and is the treasurer as well as the co-chair of the marketing committee. With over 10,000 websites currently supporting OpenID and approximately 350 million OpenID log-ins, we look forward to seeing OpenID momentum build even faster with help from the new board members!
