CAcert in India

Leave a reply

I’m visiting Delhi and Varanasi beginning of Februari 2010. Is there anyone interested meeting me over there?

If properly planned sufficiently ahead of time, I might be able to manage to get multiple assurers there to get you up to assurer level in one time. But this requires planning and some interest.

Contact me if you’re interested: aphexer at somewhat obfuscated cacert dot org

CAcert Assurer Training Event Göteborg
——————————————————–
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).
Participation in the events is free, Contributions are however appreciated.
