New Fedora openid provider (fas-openid) in service

[Kevin Fenzi]

Greetings.

I'm happy to announce that we have moved our new OpenID identity
provider (fas-openid) into production and it's ready for general use.

OpenID allows you to use an existing identity (like a Fedora Project
account) on sites or applications that support OpenID authentication.

Fedora Project account holders can use this openid identity provider 
by specifying:

username.id.fedoraproject.org

on any OpenID enabled relying party application. 
(Where 'username' is your Fedora Account system login).

More information is available at:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenID

Code for this provider (under GPLv2+) is available at:

https://github.com/fedora-infra/fas-openid

Please report any issues or problems to the Fedora infrastructure trac: 
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/newticket

Many thanks to Patrick Uiterwijk for all the hard work on
expanding and re implementing this service.
