At the end of April, I had the privilege of gathering in Stockholm with 30 participants to perform interoperability testing among 14 different OpenID Federation implementations. Leif Johansson and SUNET were fabulous hosts for the meeting at their offices in Stockholm. People from 15 countries participated, coming from as far as Australia and New Zealand! We performed eight different classes of tests between the implementations plus tested the OpenID Certification tests being developed for OpenID Federation.
It was great to have many of the core contributors to OpenID Federation come together and meet one another, most in-person, a few virtually, many for the first time. The sense of community and shared mission in the room was palpable! Besides testing, we also took time for architectural discussions, addressing open issues, and of course, socializing over drinks and dinners.
I must say that the OpenID Foundation staff who helped organize the meeting did a bang-up job! Stephanie Meli and Gareth Narinesingh both pitched in in numerous ways, resulting in a flawless and fun event! I’d normally be the one blogging and posting to capture the essence of the event, but they already more than covered that base. Their posts are full of facts, anecdotes, and photos. Check them out…
I thought I’d add a few more photos and graphics to capture the spirit of the interop.
