Open Stack

  Hi,

Completely agree with your last statement,but always good to know what 
other people are doing around identity (albiet web identity in this case).
I am not the best person to run with that integration, however, I know 
the guy that would be.  I will reach out to him to see if that would be 
an interesting side project.

Cheers
James
