OSnews is in the process of converting our self-hosted avatars to Gravatar.com, a global recognized avatar service hosted by Automattic, the team behind Wordpress publishing platform and Wordpress.com. Effective immediately, we've disallowed uploads of new OSnews avatars. Please consider registering a gravatar to use a personalized account picture on OSnews.com.

I would love to see OpenID implement avatars instead because I get to choose what people see on a site by site basis. I've seen it mention before, but it's a site just for an avatar to be pulled from...OpenID already houses the data that I want my sites to see, why not an avatar as well?
Nice idea, but I'll just wait for the OpenID avatar initiative
