When Openmaru meets OpenID
August 29th, 2007 07:09
As mentioned before, we've long believed in the value and the potential of the OpenID initiative. As much as we believe in the decentralized Web, we see OpenID as one of the strongest tying forces, which, in turn, can provide great utilities to us, users of the Web.
Along this line, openmaru has been very active in promoting OpenID across Korea and the rest of the World. We not only thought that this was a mandate for myID.net but also believed that the right direction for OpenID and the Web in general.
Hence, here is the list of activities and contributions we've made so far:
It's always very difficult to inject or even integrate vision and mission with business; too often, vision and business require two different directions. But that's what we're trying our best to achieve. We believe that by being open and helpful, those efforts won't go in vain.
That's why we have big dreams for our services, including myID.net.

Hence, here is the list of activities and contributions we've made so far:
- donating the domain "openid.co.kr" to the public, which is the Korean-translated proxy of openid.net
- started the OpenID community in Korea through openid.or.kr
- lauching of myID.net, currently the largest OpenID provider (IDP) in Korea
- completed the translation of OpenID 1.1 specs into Korean with the OpenID community
- offering of the jointsignup service, designed to foster OpenID consumer activities
- various evangelizing and education activities to major portals like Daum, leading them to join the OpenID initiative
- offering of Veresion 2 with additional services on myID.net, such as contact list and group membership, in order to popularize OpenID services in general
