The Launchpad team is proud to announce the release of Launchpad
2.1.11, which includes two major new features!

OpenID: log into other websites using your Launchpad identity
————————————————————–

How many website usernames and passwords do you juggle each day?
Your Launchpad account now includes an OpenID identity, meaning
you may be able to reduce the number of website login details
you need to remember.

OpenID is an open standard that lets you use one online identity
to access many different websites, such as SourceForge, Blogger,
LiveJournal and thousands of others. Look out for the OpenID
logo next time you log into or register for a website.

You can see the logo and find out more about how OpenID works on
our help page:

https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/OpenID

Get in touch with any other Launchpad user
——————————————-

Ever wanted to contact someone you’ve come across in Launchpad
only to find they’ve hidden their email address?

Launchpad developer, Barry Warsaw, has the solution:

You can now email up to three other Launchpad users or teams
per day using the new “Contact this user/team” link on profile
pages.

Launchpad preserves the privacy of the recipient’s email
address — unless they respond, when it becomes a normal email
conversation — and you can choose which of your registered
email addresses the message comes from.

To give it a go, try it on your own profile page:

https://launchpad.net/people/+me

For more about contacting people in Launchpad and receiving email
that’s sent using the contact form, take a look here:

https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/ContactingPeople

That’s all for this month

Launchpad 2.1.12, our final release of 2008, will be out on the
17th of December.

In the meantime, join us in #launchpad on Freenode and on the

Hello,

Moving launchpad-users to lists.launchpad.net
———————————————-

In the next week, we’re going to start hosting launchpad-users
on Launchpad itself, rather than at lists.canonical.com.

We’ll make this move as smooth as possible but you may need to
change your email filtering and perhaps resubscribe to the list.

What we’re going to do
———————–

1. Create a new launchpad-users team and associated mailing list
in Launchpad.

2. Subscribe all existing launchpad-users subscribers to the new
version of the list.

3. Close the launchpad-users list hosted at lists.canonical.com.

4. Copy the launchpad-users archive to Launchpad and keep the old
archives in place, so as not to break any inbound links.

In the next couple of days I’ll send an email to this list giving
you the exact date of when we plan to make the change.

We’ll move your subscription for you
————————————-

When we move launchpad-users to lists.launchpad.net, we’ll also
move everyone’s subscription.

To make this a smooth as possible, you’ll need to ensure that
your launchpad-users subscription email address is registered in
your Launchpad account.

To add that address to your account, visit:

https://launchpad.net/people/+me/+editemails

If you don’t yet have a Launchpad account, you can create one at:

https://launchpad.net/+login

As soon as you’re subscribed to the new version, Launchpad will
send you a welcome email. If you don’t receive that email, you
may need to re-subscribe manually. I’ll send instructions on how
to do that in my next email.

Changes you’ll need to make
—————————-

After the move, when you want to post to the list you’ll need to
send mail to:

launchpad-users@lists.launchpad.net

You may also need to change the rules you use to filter email
from the launchpad-users list. If you presently filter using
email headers, you’ll need to update your filters to change
occurrences of “lists.canonical.com” to “lists.launchpad.net”.

For example, the List-Id header will change from:

List-Id: Discussion for Launchpad users <launchpad-users.lists.canonical.com>

to:

List-Id: Discussion for Launchpad users <launchpad-users.lists.launchpad.net>

Any questions
————–

If you have any questions about how this will work, please reply
to me here. I’ll send further details, such as how you’ll manage
your launchpad-users subscription from within Launchpad, in my
next email.

Thanks,

–

OVERVIEW

Using Launchpad, you can log into other websites and services that support OpenID. In OpenID terms, Launchpad is an OpenID provider.

Here’s how it works:

1. You visit a website that supports OpenID and it asks you to log in.

2. Enter the Launchpad login URL – https://login.launchpad.net/

3. If you’re not already logged into Launchpad, it’ll ask you to enter your username and password.
4. Once you’re successfully logged into Launchpad, it’ll return you to the site you want to use.

Simple! This means that you only need to remember your Launchpad username and password in order to use websites that support OpenID.

There are a couple of things you need to know:

• Launchpad supports OpenID 2.0. Don’t worry, you can still log into sites that support older OpenID standards.

• OpenID is already enabled in your Launchpad account, if you’re a member of the Launchpad beta test team.

Learn more about OpenID.

WHERE CAN I USE IT?

You can use Launchpad to log into any of the growing number of sites that support OpenID. These include:

• Blogs powered by Blogger

• PBWiki – the free wiki hosting service

• WordPress blogs using an OpenID plugin

• LiveJournal.

Find out more about where you can use OpenID.

I’ve come across an error

If you encounter an error, it probably means that the site does not support OpenID 2.0.

To log in to these sites, visit your profile page and copy the URL from the “OpenID login:” field, then paste it into the OpenID Login prompt.

For example: https://login.launchpad.net/+id/xxxxxxx

Note: this id is case-sensitive.

How do I delegate my OpenID?

If you prefer, you can easily make a page on your website into your OpenID identity URL, while still using Launchpad as the underlying provider.

All your need to do is insert a snippet of markup between the <head> and <\head> elements of one of your web pages:

<link rel="openid.server" href="https://login.launchpad.net/" />
<link rel="openid.delegate" href="https://login.launchpad.net/+id/xxxxxxxx" />
<meta http-equiv="X-XRDS-Location" content="https://login.launchpad.net/+id/xxxxxxx/+xrds" />

Note: You’ll need to replace the http://login.launchpad.net/+id/xxxxxxxx with your actual Launchpad OpenID.

Now, rather than presenting your Launchpad OpenID, you can enter your OpenID as http://mywebsite.com. When you show up as a commenter – on LiveJournal, for example – it’ll display your web page as your OpenID. However, as Launchpad is still providing the back-end, you’ll still need to log-in at Launchpad.
