Sxip has joined an alliance of IT companies that will be providing bounties of $5000 to encourage the integration of OpenID into leading open source projects. In addition to Sxip, the consortium includes claimID, Cordance, Four Kitchen Studios, International Webmaster Association, JanRain, NetMesh, ooTao, Opinity, VeriSign, ZoomR, and ZP3. We hope the Bounty Program will accelerate adoption of the user-centric, Identity 2.0, approach to digital identity on the web.
