The Scottish Premiere is brought to you in association with www.bikelove.co.uk and www.alpinebikes.co.uk. Being the home venue for the Glasgow International Bike Film Festival, the screening at the GFT will feature a special additional screening, details of which are being finalised and will be announced nearer the date of the screening.
The Glasgow International Bike Film Festival - On Tour have teamed up with The Collective, several UK bike shops and independent cinemas in the UK to bring their eagerly awaited third feature, "Seasons" onto the big screen in a series of special one night only screenings prior to it's release on DVD.
In 2004, The Collective released the self-titled film, The Collective. The film went on to win several prestigious awards and quickly became recognised by mountain bikers around the world as the film that the mountain bike world had been waiting for. In 2006, their second film, Roam, was released to even greater critical and commercial success. The film played to a series of sell out cinema screening throughout the UK.
Now in 2008, The Collective are back with their eagerly anticipated third feature, "Seasons".
Following seven of the worlds top mountain bikers through the course of the four seasons of the year, "Seasons" brings cinematic grandeur to the genre of mountain bike films. From the heat of competition downhill racing to riders ripping singletrack against the backdrop of a summer sunset, "Seasons" is a must see for film fans and bike fans alike. The film stars the biggest names in mountain biking including former UCI World Cup Downhill Champion Steve Peat.
To kick off the UK tour, we've teamed up with CycleSurgery www.cyclesurgery.com to present the UK Cinema Premiere at the Prince Charles Cinema in the heart of London's West End. This will give viewers the first chance to see "Seasons" anywhere in the UK. The screening date and time are below and the price of admission gets you to not only see "Seasons" on the big screen but also The Collective's previous feature "Roam" and an exclusive short on the making of "Seasons"

The open source OpenID C# library DotNetOpenID has been released. This is a really exciting release that adds full support for OpenID 2.0 while preserving full backward compatibility for interoperating with OpenID 1.x. It is a mature library with lots of helps for diagnostics and debugging, and a balance between simplicity and extensibility. For a complete list of enhancements from the last release, check out the VersionChanges page.
Here are the highlights of this library and particularly this release:
- Support for OpenID 2.0 Relying Parties and Providers, including but not limited to these features
- Xri and i-name support
- Directed identity support
- More secure hashing algorithms (SHA-256)
- Interop with Yahoo and other OpenID 2.0-only providers
- Better security against replay attacks.
- Send unsolicited positive assertions from providers to automatically log your users in to relying party web sites.
- Much more comprehensive testing of common scenarios and possible security exploits.
- More comprehensive HTML-based identity discovery.
- Completely stateless mode support for Relying Parties (not even HttpApplication state).
- New OpenIdMobileTextBox ASP.NET control.
- All relying party ASP.NET controls now support immediate mode.
- Improved support for custom stores that have to serialize associations (for databases, etc.)
- Debugger attributes to make stepping through the code easier.
We've had over 150 beta testers leading to this release and fixed several bugs along the way. Thanks to all those who helped field test this release!
This is a release that Project Members have worked very hard to build and write tests to make sure its as secure as possible. Please consider supporting past and future development with a donation (any size).
DotNetOpenID 1.0 released!
Andrew Arnott
The culmination of a great deal of work in refactoring, bug fixing and enhancements can be found in the latest .NET implementation of the OpenId library known as DotNetOpenId v1.0. It is free and released under the New BSD license, so give it a try!
Check the Version Changes page for a list of important changes over the
0.1.2 version. Please note that there are a lot of breaking changes between this and 0.1.2, but on a plus side, there are no breaking changes between 1.0 and 2.0 (so far), so making the extra effort to adopt 1.0 today is recommended and only help pave the way for 2.0 when it is ready.
DotNetOpenId 2.0 beta
The DotNetOpenId 2.0 beta is also ready for field testing. It is feature
complete, offering a full implementation of the OpenId 2.0 spec except for
extensions that are passed *without *any side-by-side authentication. With the huge improvements brought by the OpenID 2.0 specification I am really pleased to see that this release become available.
With the one exception listed, these features are *already* in the source code:
- Added support for *OpenID 2.0 Relying Parties and Providers*,
including but not limited to these features:
- Xri and i-name support
- Directed identity support
- More secure hashing algorithms (SHA-256)
- Interop with Yahoo and other OpenID 2.0-only providers
- Better security against replay attacks.
- *Planned:* Much more comprehensive testing of common scenarios and
possible security exploits.
- More comprehensive HTML-based identity discovery.
- *Completely* stateless mode supported for Relying Parties (not even
HttpApplication state).
