LoCo events are often about reaching out to new users.  I don't see any
reason why we should require new users to not only create an Ubuntu SSO
account (which is broken and not supported on the LoCo directory), or a
Launchpad account (which is a software developer service) and then join
a Launchpad team when they may or may not have anything to do with the
LoCo.

And this is just to RSVP!  This would be a horrible introduction to a
new or potential Ubuntu user who was curious about "this Ubuntu thing"
and just wanted to sign up.  Especially if that attitude is "If you're
not a locoteam member you have no business RSVPing on the LoCo
directory".

If that's the case, then I would actually consider the LoCo Directory
project harmful to the kind of open attendance events I usually plan and
would stop using the directory altogether.  Please consider the intended
audience of the directory when dealing with this bug.

Status in LoCo Directory: Triaged

Bug description:
I noticed that there's a user on one of my team's events -- http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/99/detail/ -- referred to as "openiduser44". Since there isn't a Launchpad user with that name, I'm rather confused as to who that person could be. If it's a Launchpad user, their actual username should be there; if LoCo Directory allows login from non-LP OpenIDs, those OpenIDs should be displayed instead of a placeholder username. This would be facilitated by fixing bug 540532 so loco-directory can link to the non-LP OpenID.
