OpenIDDevCamp is an upcoming gathering, inspired by BarCamp, SuperHappyDevHouse, and MacHack, to develop web-based applications that use OpenID. It is a non-commercial event, organized by volunteers, with attendance free to all. By the completion of the weekend event we want to OpenID-enable many public web sites as well as grow the ranks of the OpenID community. The event will be held at the San Francisco offices of Six Apart, and out-of-town guests are welcome.
Attendees will include web designers, developers and testers all working together over the weekend to enable OpenID on their sites or just learn more about this technology. Bonus points go to folks who can help make OpenID more accessible to general users. Development projects will include both solo and team efforts. While some attendees will wish to work solo during the event, we encourage attendees to team up, based on expertise, to work in ad-hoc project development teams. All attendees should be prepared to work on a development project during the event.
Attendees will be able to:
This event is being held following the finalization of the OpenID 2.0 specification. This allows attendees to learn more about the changes in OpenID or get involved if they have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for 2.0 to be completed.
If you will not be able to join the main event at the San Francisco offices of Six Apart, but would like to organize a satellite event in your own city, please create a sub-page, (e.g. http://barcamp.org/OpenIDDevCampBoston ), and link to it here.
We will also be exploring ways to allow for remote participation. Please stay tuned for more information.
Event IRC/Chat:
OpenID Channel on pibb.com.
There is an IRC relay setup between the OpenID channel on Pibb and Freenode.
There is an ongoing OpenID developer community discussion list that the organizers of this list are members of. This is a good place for technical discussions before the OpenIDDevCamp, as well as place to recruit team members and discuss projects for the hack-a-thon.
