Thanks To Everyone!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the OTW's recent membership drive: by posting about the drive or about the org, by sharing one of our awesome lolcats, and most especially by donating. It will take a few days for the last promised donations to clear, and then your humble DevMem team will take a few days off to decompress, but we hope to post soon with some nifty statistics and graphics so that you can share our glee.

A few folks contacted us late in the drive to say, "I'm not able to donate now, but I hope to have the money to donate sometime soon -- can I still donate after the drive is over?" The answer is yes! Our formal March 2009 membership drive has ended, which means we'll stop proclaiming the awesomeness of the OTW quite so loudly from the rooftops, but you can support the OTW with a donation at any time.

Thanks for being a part of the OTW!

The Development/Membership Committee of the OTW: Carla, Elizabeth, Ignaz, Monica, Rachel, Shoshanna, and Vera

errr, still me :)

I am off to sleep any minute, but I was wondering, is the openID login just not working for me, or is it a general problem?
I did not bother to sign on for yet another account, coz I thought, I could simply use my LJ account an OpenID account to login into otw, but it gives me this message:

I don't know the answer to this, but I'll ask the webmasters. I assume you're talking about transformativeworks.org?

It's not just you. :)

The OpenID login on transformativeworks.org works by associating an OpenID with an existing website account. So, you'll need to start by creating a user account on the website. Once you've created an account, you can go to http://transformativeworks.org/user and add an OpenID identity. After that you can log on using your OpenID. Feel free to contact the Webmasters directly if you run into any problems.

(And thanks very much for taking the time to provide a screenshot!)

thanks Kristen!

for the explanation, I created an account, and associated it with my LJ acccount, so it worked, and the log in with the LJ open ID account also worked.
except, even while working, its giving me this message:

its not really important, as I said, its working, but I thought, I let you guys know anyway.

PS: I may not be in tech support in my job field, but having lots of clients, who are less web or internet savvy , I am very fond of screenshots *g*
it helps to explain things to them ;)

Oh, thanks for the clarification. I will share this info with my fellow Webmasters.
