I agree with you: we don't nee more complexity. Having our own OpenID
provider is needed in order to *reduce* complexity. Remember that the
Foundation already has to have *one* system to manage the identity of
Foundations' individual members. All ATCs also need to be members of the
Foundation, so at the moment all new contributors need to create two
accounts: one on Launchpad and one on http://openstack.org/profile. That
sucks.

Since we're using Launchpad for less and less functions nowadays, it
makes sense to use *one* ID providing system and have such system be
built on top of the Foundation members database.

We're still in the initial phases of the project so there is plenty of
room to make suggestions. The reason of my original question is to have
a full understanding of what systems are currently consuming Launchpad
ID and make sure that whatever system we pick doesn't break them and
eventually leaves space for improvements.

Going back to the original question: anybody has items to add to the list?

thanks,
