Countries looking to sign on OpenID ------ Scott Kveton "It's about time we solved this single sign-on problem." SSO for the Web "Everybody can use it and nobody should own it." Having your password emailed to you is halfway to OpenID, because you're trusting a 3rd-party provider. OpenID allows us to create distributed social networking. ~120 million OpenIDs (including every aol user) GlassFish --------- Ken Drachnik Not here Django ------ Jacob Kaplan-Moss About an order of magnitude more Django-powered sites have come up in the past year. django-* -- 100+ projects AOL.ca, Curse Gaming, FSF (looking at it), HP (acquired Tablo, written in Django), Pownce, Scripps/Howard newspaper websites, Wash.

By the next version, we'll have most of the major security issues under control - v1.3 In 1.3, later this year Multi-user security enforcement Separation of duties/voucher system (different people can do diff. stuff) Normalized contact management New arch. for new/refactored code In 1.4, early next year (may slip) Re-engineered financial logic GAAP compliant -- generally accepted accounting principles better integrity controls easier and more secure integration In the year since forking, they have half the downloads that SQL-Ledger has OpenSolaris ----------- Glynn Foster and Steve Lau New installer to replace the old one that's 10 years old Huge effort to run on non-sparc hardware Drivers: video, wireless, sound (OSS open sourcing for solaris) In the span of 4 builds (2 months), my Sony Vaio went from not being supported to being completely supported with hardware OpenGL and everything Mercurial migration: will be choice for pretty much all Sun projects Iam Murdock: Project Indiana Look at the current story we have and provide a different one installer sucks, package management sucks, 7 cds to download, etc When opensolaris started,we really cared about code contribution rather than the user base. More like kernel.org than a distribution.
