Is there anyone out there who has done iGovt authentication with Drupal yet? (http://www.e.govt.nz/standards/authentication) Is there available source code for it out there somewhere?
We're about to do some for a client but figure this must have been done with Drupal before, so before we built and open source the module we're interested in if anyone has some previous experience to shed on the subject?

I just noticed that GOSCON is coming up on October 27-28 in Portland Oregon.

GOSCON is the Government Open Source Conference, an annual event produced by Oregon State University's Open Source Lab. Now in its fifth year, the conference focuses on the role of open source software and collaboration as an enabler of leading Open Government and Transparency initiatives throughout the United States. Speakers come from all levels of government, from City Officials to Federal Agencies.

Are you heading out to vote this morning? Have you thought about how each of the parties support open source? The Greens's IT policy explicitly states a number of policies about encouraging Open Source in Business, Government and Education.

It's hard to beat that! Further; The Greens use Drupal and CiviCRM heavily in both their public-facing and internal systems -- their actions match their words. Go Greens!
