Barley Mill has Free Wifi (multiple networks) so feel free to bring the laptop.

After taking a month off, we'll have another Portland Drupal Users Group meeting at FreeGeek. Since the code freeze happened on September 1st, the focus of the meeting will be on looking at the new features of the upcomming 5.0 release.

Meeting Topic:
Presentation on the OpenID single-sign-on http://www.openidenabled.com/openid/about-openid

Location:
FREE GEEK -> Community Technology Center -> 1731 SE 10th Avenue -> Portland, OR 97214 -> 503-232-9350
Tuesday, June 13th, 6pm-8pm, then pub.

Meeting Desc:
Jonathan Daugherty will be giving a presentation on the OpenID single-sign-on protocol including usage of their PHP OpenID API and details on how OpenID can be used by Drupal.

So what is OpenID?
OpenID is a URL based identity system. An OpenID identity is simply a URL, and all the OpenID specification does is provide a way to securely prove that you own that URL.
Unlike most identity systems, OpenID is completely decentralized. The end-user may choose whichever server they are most comfortable with, and may even run their own if they choose.

Free and open to the public. Most likely hit a near by pub afterwards.

See you all there,
