Dear OpenID Community Members:
Before I begin this email, let me thank the team, and the whole OpenID Europe Community; everyone has been hard at work for 1.5 years now, and all that good work has yielded major advances for OpenID in all the corners of Europe. Of course, our OIDE Foundation is still wet behind the ears, and we must continue to grow it wisely-with YOUR help, and the help of all the individuals, businesses and corporations who will join us. I have traced a path for OpenID in Europe, for I know that the best is yet to come. "Bravo" to all of you, and my heartfelt thanks for the efforts and time each one of you has devoted to OpenID. To give you an example of what I am talking about, I received this morning a request from students in Macedonia (a country located to the North of Greece), highly motivated to develop an OpenID Community. These people are living proof that there are competent and passionate people who propel OpenID, wishing to make it a reality in Europe, and all over the world. Speaking of the which, and to answer the pressing requests from Anh and Ishvar-who have floated a few months ago the idea of re-creating in Asia what we did in Europe by creating an Asian Community/Foundation on www.openidasia.org --asking me to become their advisor for this project... Although I am plenty busy working for OpenID in Europe, I have gladly accepted their offer. I will immediately assist in the implementation of that organization, in which I personally strongly believe, with the utmost respect for Asia's specific needs. I will need someone to assist me in the daily operation of OpenID Europe while I am working on the OpenID.asia Project. If you feel up to the task of helping in handling the day-to-day European operations and promotional efforts, -do not hesitate to contact us if you think you are this person at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or/and [email protected] I am not letting any moss grow on my feet. We have already assured that the OpenID domain name under that brand new TLD .asia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.asia> is firmly owned and reserved. I will devote that domain name (www.OpenID.asia) to that great project, provided it preserves the spirit of the Foundation and the Community, and is not simply be used to become an OP (and in doing so, avoiding the pitfalls that befell OpenID.org or OpenID.eu). If you are interested in joining "Project OpenID.asia," and are ready to make the necessary efforts to organize a large OpenID Community in Asia, in all the necessary Asiatic languages. please contact me directly in the next few weeks ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Best regards to all, -Snorri
