OpenID is an emerging standard for doing identity on the Internet; single sign-on, one username, one password for the sites you visit. Putting this together with a Mash Pit we now have an event that people can come to and hack on OpenID and figure out how to make it work for their sites or applications.

We'll do a very brief introduction on OpenID and then break out into small groups to help people actually dig into the "doing" of OpenID enabling their site. The goal? More hacking, less talking.
