We’re a little late on this news, but we wanted to congratulate Drupal, Plone and dotnetnuke, the first three recipients of the OpenID Foundation code bounties. Scott Kveton writes:

The OpenID Foundation is pleased to announce today that it has awarded three code bounties, $5000 each, to Drupal, Plone and dotnetnuke. The announcement was made today during the State of Lightning Talks at the O’Reilly Open Source Conference here in Portland, OR.

The bounty program was announced last year at OSCON ‘06. The bounty is on-going with 7 more bounties to be claimed. These awards come on the heels of the creation of the OpenID Foundation which is aimed at helping fostering the work of the OpenID community.

Great work to all on pushing OpenID forward.

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve built a ClaimID application for Facebook. This simple application will display your verified ClaimID account (verified with OpenID) on your Facebook profile, allowing people who visit your profile to have a trusted link to your ClaimID page. Here’s what the app (when added) looks like:

If you’d like to check out or add the app, you can visit its page here, or you can visit the app’s canvas page here. Feel free to add feature requests to the app’s wall, or just send us a note to info @ claimid.com.

And yes - its been a little quiet here for the past month, but with a wedding and international travel, we’ve been busy! But we’re glad to be back with this new feature for Facebook users.
