[Deutsch] CAcert Assurer Training Event Essen 
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:
– Was hast du auf dem CAP Formular hinzuzufügen, wenn du Minderjährige überprüfst ?
– Was sind die 2 wesentlichen Punkte der CCA die du einem Assuree vermitteln können sollst ?
– Unter welchen Umständen können z.Bsp. niederländische Rufnamen akzeptiert werden?

The CACert policy group proudly announces the new Root Distribution License (RDL)[1], which grants the distribution of CACerts root certificates by non related parties. RDL is a free/libre compatible license to allow unrelated vendors and/or distributors to distribute CACert’s root certificates to their users.
CACert confesses itself to interoperability with free and open projects. The CACert website is soon to be updated to reflect the new RDL.
A distributable source package can be found here [2]

Wytze reports on a planned outage for CAcert main systems, as the systems are moved from one rack to another:
“The move has been scheduled for Tuesday June 15, starting at 10:00 CEST, and hopefully ending before 18:00 CEST.
During a significant part of that period, all systems will be down. We will take care of providing a backup during the outage for ocsp.cacert.org (to avoid inconveniencing browser users which have OCSP enabled for CAcert, as they should!), and a placeholder for www.cacert.org which report the downtime and the reason for it.”
