tommorris (for the benefit of future log readers, this continues a discussion started in #microformats)
#
tommorris so, having at least one indieauth provider being a non-commercial organisation seems like a good thing. I trust non-profits like OSM Foundation and Wikimedia much more than I do venture-backed startups.

#
aaronpk thanks tantek
#
tantek sure, though GOOG and YHOO are at least publicly traded OAuth providers.
#
aaronpk the indieauth site uses OmniAuth, so any provider which has a library already written would be easy to add, just would need to add the rel-me code for the provider
#
aaronpk https://github.com/intridea/omniauth/wiki/List-of-Strategies
#
aaronpk OpenStreetMap is already on there
#
tommorris aaronpk: any registered OSM user can setup an OAuth app credential
#
tantek so they just need the rel-me field on user profiles then
#
tantek tommorris, are you able to embed an <a rel="me" href> into your profile description?
#
tommorris nope
#
tommorris just adding that to the application.
#
tantek ah, even better
#
aaronpk to what application?

tommorris so, we gotta get out of here in a few minutes, but with a bit of luck I'll be able to submit a patch for rel=me websites

#
tantek tommorris - did you get a patch submitted for adding hCard to OSM venues?
#
tantek is a bit lost around the OSM website code.
