Much has happened during the past year. A list of up till now mostly “orally transmitted” rules have been cast in policies. New procedures (e.g. the Assurer Challenge) and obligations (e.g. in the CAcert Community Agreement) have been decided. The Assurer Training Events try to bring all this informations to “the people”:
– To what, does the CCA protect every CAcert-Community-Member and as such also you?
– Can you recount the 5 statements of the “Purpose of Assurance”?
– Can you at least recount 10 security marks of the Swedish passport?
Answers to these and following questions are given at the Assurer Training Events (ATE’s).

CAcert Assurer Training Event Berlin-Brandenburg
——————————————————————————–
Es hat sich viel getan im letzten Jahr. Eine ganze Reihe von bisher eher “mündlich überlieferten” Regeln wurden in Policies gegossen. Neue Prozeduren (z.B. die Assurer Challenge) und Verpflichtungen (z.B. in dem CAcert Community Agreement) wurden beschlossen. Die Assurer Training Events wollen versuchen, die ganzen Informationen “unter’s Volk” zu bringen:
– Wovor schützt die CCA jedes CAcert-Community-Mitglied und somit auch dich?
– Kannst du die 5 Statements der “Purpose of Assurance” aufzählen?
– Kannst du auf Anhieb 10 Sicherheitsmerkmale des deutschen Personalausweises aufzählen?
Antworten auf diese und weitere Fragen erhälst du bei den Assurer Training Events (ATE’s).
Der Termin für Berlin steht nun fest.

CAcert Assurer Training Event Amsterdam and Eemnes

Er is het laatste jaar veel gebeurd. Een hele reeks van tot nu toe veelal “mondeling overgedragen” regels, zijn in Policies gegoten. Nieuwe Procedures (b.v. de Assurer Challenge) en verplichtingen (b.v. in de CAcert Community Agreement) werden vastgesteld. De Assurer Training Events trachten de volledige informatie “onder het volk” te brengen.
– Waartegen beschermt de CCA ieder CAcert-Community-Lid en dus ook jou?
– Kan je de 5 Statements van de “Purpose of Assurance” opnoemen?
– Kan je onmiddellijk 10 veiligheidskenmerken van het Nederlandse paspoort/identiteits kaart opnoemen?
Antwoorden op deze en verdere vragen krijg je bij de Assurer Training Events (ATE’s)
De deelname aan de evenementen is gratis, bijdragen worden echter gaarne tegemoet gezien.

Service Failure of Some Non-Critical Systems
At approximately 12:30 CET May 23, 2009, our service provider suffered heating problems. As a result some of the CAcert non-critical systems (irc., wiki., cats., community) were powered down (with notice). The systems where restored to operation over a period of little more than an hour.
