A decentralized identity system. It allows you use the same login on multiple web pages.
For example, if I own a website (me.example) then I can set up an OpenID server. Then I can go to site.example and login using me.example as my id (site.example) will then have me go login on my own OpenID if I haven't already, and then I'm good. OpenID only does authentication, not trust, so site.example would have to verify that the server at me.example is a good server first - otherwise I could set up a server with a whole bunch of bogus id's and spam the web out. All in all though, it's pretty cool. I don't completely understand how everything works yet, which why I was hoping to get the django devs to do it for me :D. There's python OpenID library is at http://www.openidenabled.com/ I looked at the PHP port, and it looked well coded.
