no old Assurer Status anymore

After the implementation of the Assurer Challenge last year there will be no “old” Assurer status anymore.
Assurers who have not passed the Assurer’s Challenge are no longer Assurers. AP gives authority to impose the rule that Assurers must have 100 points *and* pass the Assurer’s Challenge. So all Assurers who do not have the Challenge and want to do so, please visit the Assurer-Challenge pages and follow the instructions.
Please see also http://bugs.cacert.org/view.php?id=588 .

Chemnitzer Linux-Tage

Vom 13. bis 15. März 2009 finden wieder die Chemnitzer Linux-Tage statt.

Auch dort wird es wieder die Möglichkeit geben, Punkte zu sammeln … sei es jetzt als Assurer oder auch als Antragsteller.

Ein fester Termin während der Linux-Tage steht inzwischen fest: Die CAcert-Assurances werden nach dem PGP-Keysigning (18:15) in der Mensa gegenüber vom Veranstaltungsgebäude stattfinden.
Samstag und Sonntag kann man mich (zu erkennen am CAcert-T-Shirt) auch außerhalb der Vorträge gerne für Assurances ansprechen.

Wichtig auf jeden Fall:

(a)   Ihr solltet das CAcert-Community-Agreement (CCA) gelesen haben.

(b)   KEINE alten CAP-Formulare. Bitte bringt nur die NEUEN CAP-Formulare (externe Links:Deutsch bzw. Englisch) mit … und davon bitte genug 😉

(c)   Die anwesenden Assurer MÜSSEN die AssurerChallenge bestanden haben.

Noch etwas:

Wer zwar in der Vergangenheit assured hat (oder in der Zukunft assuren möchte), sich aber aufgrund der Assurer Challenge, der neuen Formulare, des CCA o.ä. unsicher fühlt: Ich stehe gerne für Fragen zur Verfügung.

Easier assurance form preparation: use the wiki CAP and COAP html form

For an easier on-line html CAP (for individuals) or COAP (for organisations) assurance form use the html CAP form or html COAP form respectively. While one can complete the form on-line now with one’s browser, the browser is now able to make a request the completed pdf form via the CAcert site. In this easy way one will make sure that an URL is used is generating the correct URL to generate a completed assurance pdf form file.

These both HTML forms are made available from the (moinmoin) wiki. They will differ slightly from the html form, which will become available soon from the CAcert main web page as well. Note that browsers differ when complicated tables and styles are used.

The HTML forms are made available to facilitate one’s preparations at the office when one plans to attend an assurance event at exhibitions and conferences.
