The crowd-sourced funding campaign to create an UMA and OpenID Connect plugin for Apache server was successful. Mike from gluu.org reports that progress on the OIDC plugin is good, and the UMA plugin will begin soon.

To commemorate the success of the campaign, Mike commissioned a local Austin artist JP Verdijo (JP’s Facebook page) to create paintings. I asked JP to create a smaller version that would fit in my office – so he made a photo transfer which is now hanging on my office wall.

It’s a great piece to commemorate an event that hopefully will transform information sharing on the internet. Fingers crossed.
