I'd definitely be interested in both the Dan's OpenID discussion.
I've had the chance to play with this a bit, but would love to hear
from someone who's spent a bit more time with it.

I didn't get the chance to attend the last LRUG, but would also like
to hear Ben's SOAP vs. REST discussion.  I'm new to Ruby and Rails,
but I think that REST v. SOAP is a fundamental topics.  Web developers
-- whether using Rails, PHP, or what have you -- are going to be
spending more and more time integrating web services and developing
APIs for their own services.

So, in other words, I'm up for both discussions if there's time for both.
