Just wanted to post in to say that I really enjoyed the meeting Sunday and look forward to the next one. I had a couple of notes with question marks after them and thought I might post them here for potential response. Don't know if anyone else had the same questions...

1) What is Open ID and what makes it so exciting to Drupal?

2) There was some discussion of a module for login customization. What was the name of it again? (I had "login tobaggan")

3) It was recommended that we subscribe to the modules feed to get up to speed on what is available. I didn't see a feed option on the module section of Drupal.org. Anyone know where I can find it?

4) I had a randome note for "cool filter" with no idea what in the world that was. Anyone have a clue?

OpenID

In a nutshell, Open ID is a way for users to log into one location and have their identity carry over to multiple websites. What makes this important for Drupal is that a user will not have to manage multiple identities across multiple sites. They only need to maintain one identity.
