[SAC] OSGeo as OpenID provider?

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi,

Following an authentication discussion in QGIS-PSC group, Sandro had the
(I think) good idea to check if it was maybe possible to let OSGeo
become an OpenID provider [0].

I truly do not know if that would be a lot of hassle, but I like the
idea having an OSGeo openid id, or the OSGeo being a FOSS authentication
provider...

Did some Googling [1] but does not seem trivial. Not sure what it would
cost in terms of money or manpower though..

Others have experience with this? Or opposing the idea?

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
