That's not really a question that makes sense. Fedora runs an OpenID 
provider which gives you an OpenID associated with your 'Fedora 
identity' - ultimately, it's backed by your FAS account. Your own OpenID 
is a completely different identity. The idea of 'using' your 'existing' 
OpenID with Fedora's OpenID provider is just not an idea that is 
compatible with how OpenID works.
