I did a much longer recap/announcement over on my Bryght blog, but wanted to point to some people specifically. I had a great time and it was good to see so many people out.

Scott Hadfield wins the prize for actually OpenID-enabling his blog in real time (and for his bizarro domain name :P).

My site here does have delegation headers for my home.bryght.com account (Simon Willison has good instructions for the OpenID 1.1 format here), but it won't work most places until we get our code updated with the OpenID 1.1 backwards compatability. 

I think Rob of jayandsilentrob.com wins the prize for most errors/frustration encountered in trying to get his site delegating. I realized as we were all clustered around trying to test delegation with various systems....that there are still very few "large" sites that you can just do login with...besides random blog comments. Definitely more work needed here. Oh, and Rob has an event coming up here in Vancouver for tech types (Rob, looked for it in upcoming and couldn't find it...post/email and I'll update this).

It's settled, I'm heading to Portland. I'm going to be there from Sunday, October 22nd to Wednesday, Oct. 25th.

On the schedule, in no particular order:

• See Dries Buytaert, who is in town for some sort of crazy Java optimization conference
• Catch up with Scott Kveton and the JanRain guys to plan world domination via OpenID v53
• Go to a Geek Dinner - organized by Alex Williams and co. over at Feedia (ditto on the world domination) 
• Go to a Drupal meetup on Tuesday night

I'm staying at the very funky White Eagle Hotel. I stayed at the Kennedy School a couple of weeks back when I was briefly in town for a vacation. These are a cool chain of hotels/breweries/etc. Highly recommended.
