There will be an ATE in Lübeck on 7th June 2013. More details on the wiki.

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

- Email I will attend ATE-Lübeck
- 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 Freitag, 7. Juni 2013, findet in der Grosse Burgstrasse 2, 23539 Lübeck, in den Räumen des Jugendzentrum Burgtor 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.

ATE-Lübeck findet statt:
• Freitag, 7. Juni 2013
• Jugendzentrum Burgtor
• Grosse Burgstrasse 2
• 23539 Lübeck

• 19:00 bis ca. 22:00 Uhr

Registrierung: Ich möchte am ATE-Lübeck teilnehmen

Vielleicht treffen wir uns ja da.

Mit bestem Gruß vom Events Team!

Effective solutions for CAcert are occuring especially when there is a good information exchange and knowledge transfer. For this CAcert has a stand on the LinuxTag in hall 7.1a, booth 140. We’re pleased to talk to customers, to CAcert community members, Assurers and networkers. And we’re liking to take the chance to talk about recent development at CAcert.

• the TTP programme is only rolled out for Australia, Puerto Rico and USA. This means you can only take part if you can visit a TTP in these countries. (All other requests will not be processed)
• the TTP programme is only able to grant up to 70 assurance points. The TTP TOPUP programme that closes the gap between 70 and 100 assurance points is still under development.)

You find more about TTP in on this wiki page at https://wiki.cacert.org/TTP/TTPuser

Das Software Team hat einen Patch ausgerollt, mit dem Windows Nutzer die CAcert Root Zertifikate über einen Root Installer installieren können. Das Root Installer Paket findet sich auf der Seite http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3. Des Weiteren arbeitet das Software Team an einem Root Installer für den Mozilla Truststore. Dieser wird für diverse Betriebssysteme zur Verfügung stehen.

All other CAcert services, like OCSP, DNS, mail etc. will remain available during this time.

If you are not familiar with this policy that was under DRAFT for about 3 years, its now a good time to become familiar with this Assurance Subpolicy. Further infos beside the PoJAM Assurance Subpolicy document itself you’ll find in the Wiki under PoJAM info page. Also consider to attend one of the upcoming Assurer Training Events to receive more infos about this special Assurance program.

This PoJAM Assurance Subpolicy now completes together with the CAcert Community Agreement and the Assurance Policy with the related Assurance Handbook the set of Assurance Policies.

Quick summary:

1. You have to add a statement to the default CAP forms: Parental consent checked with your signature as assurer and your CARS statement.
2. To enhance the CAP form documentation of Junior Members with the parental contact infos (name, email).
3. The parental consent form lightens the burden of the Junior Assuree, to deliver the parental consent of the R/L/O’s of the Juniors membership to the Assurer.

History:
Some historical records and sidenotes about the development process of this policy you’ll find in the blog post PoJAM to DRAFT dated February 1st, 2010.

On the world’s largest computer fair, the CeBIT in Hannover, DE, CAcert should not miss out. From march 5th till 9th Assurer and Assurees are meeting each other from 12 o’clock noon outside of hall 2 in direction of the green. In case of bad weather the assurances take place directly at the glass front of Hall 2 outside under the roofing.

More events with attendance of CAcert — at OpenSource-Events with booth — can be reviewed in CAcert wiki under http://wiki.cacert.org/Events/UpcomingEvents.

Auf der weltgrößten Computermesse, der CeBIT in Hannover, darf auch CAcert nicht fehlen. Vom 5. bis 9. März treffen sich Assurer und Assurees täglich ab 12 Uhr vor Halle 2 in Richtung der Grünfläche. Bei schlechtem Wetter finden die Assurances direkt an der Glasfront von Halle 2 außen unter der Überdachung statt.

Weitere Veranstaltungen mit CAcert-Beteiligung — bei OpenSource-Veranstaltungen auch mit eigenem Stand — sind im CAcert-Wiki unter dem Link http://wiki.cacert.org/Events/UpcomingEvents
einsehbar.

• p20130222 PoJAM to POLICY
• p20130223 Several minor changes to PoP to DRAFT

To Policy Group its a novelty to have two call for votes running at the same time.
p20130222 PoJAM to POLICY is overdue since 2 years
-and-
p20130223 Several minor changes to PoP to DRAFT recently comes to awareness while trying to update the policies in the policy directories. One located under the production system www.cacert.org/policy and the working directory under svn.cacert.org/CAcert/policies

To update policies in the working directory is less a problem, but to get the voted policy changes to production caused us some headache.

With the policy decision p20100306 - minor changes to PoP we have a mechanism to add link corrections, correct spelling errors and such. The main problem: decision p20100306 references to the Policy Officer. Policy Officer’s seat is vacant since policies have been deployed to CAcert. So a very long time. And to nominate a Policy Officer debate is quite controverse. So the formal move of the p20100306 decision into PoP with no exclusive definition, that this job is to do by a Policy Officer has been introduced. The work can be done by either Policy Group member or other team members with the clause to announce the minor changes made to Policy Group.

Both called votes stays open until Friday March 8th, 2013
