How to get OpenID authentication on SharePoint Services?

Question

Is this even possible? I want to build a small community site but do not want to use Live ID.

See the OpenID membership provider project on CodePlex. This provides OpenID support for SharePoint.

If you're just looking for a windows-based community site framework, I'd suggest Community Server, which has a free license and built-in OpenID support.
