There will be an ATE in Kiel on 11th February 2013. More details on the wiki.

There are a couple of options to indicate that you are attending:

- Email I will attend ATE-Kiel
- Edit the wiki directly

As IanG said: “The ATE or Assurer Training Event is exceptionally recommended for all Assurers, and include parts which contribute directly to our audit. Come and find out how you can also contribute.”

German Version
Am Montag, 11. Februar 2013, findet in der Eckernförder Str. 20, Kiel, in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Toppoint e.V. das nächste ATE statt.

• Was hast du auf dem CAP Formular hinzuzufügen, wenn du Minderjährige überprüfst ?
• Warum solltest du dir die 3 Buchstaben: R/L/O einprägen ?
• Wie verhälst du dich, wenn du ein fremdes Ausweisdokument zum erste Mal prüfst ?

Antworten auf diese und andere Fragen erhaltet ihr auf dem Assurer Training Event.
Bringt geeignete Lichtbildausweise für Assurances mit.

Ein zusätzlicher Hinweis für ehemalige Tverify/Thawte Leute:
Das ATE ist auch eine sehr gute Möglichkeit eure Assurance und Experience Punkte in die Reihe zu bekommen, bevor diese gestrichen werden.

Bug fixing

The software developing team released recently some bug fixes that affect the users.

Firstly, the software now is able to give the correct assurer status. This has the effect that all assurers that have given assurances in the past but have not passed the CATS test will now no longer be shown as assurers until they have passed the test.

A second part is touching the Organisation section. A few changes were made in the presentation of the information. This affects the Organisation Administrators as well as the Organisation Assurers.

The software team is currently working on the fix for the faults in issuing of certificates in Internet Explorer. Help is needed in testing to check that all the changes are working properly.
If you are interested, join the test team under cacert-devel@list.cacert.org or have a look at the test instructions for Bug 964.

Much has happened during recent years. The old way of orally-transmitted procedures has now gone, and our rules have been cast into formal policies. New procedures (e.g. the Assurer Challenge) and obligations (e.g. in the CAcert Community Agreement) have been approved.

The signer was down from June 21 02:00 UTC to June 22 23:00 UTC.
Our administrators were able to fix the hardware problem so that the signer is up and working again.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience.
