CAcert Event in Staffordshire - 11th Feb 2020 at Keele University

CAcert Event in Staffordshire – 11th Feb 2020, 7pm

Good news: There will be a CAcert event in the United Kingdom!

The CAcert event will be on the 11th February 2020. The main talk will begin at 7pm, the doors will be open for earlier arrivals from 6pm onwards.

The CAcert Event will be at the StaffsLUG Workshop, Internet Central, Innovation Centre, Keele Science Park, ST5 5NB, Newcastle-under-Lyme/Stoke-on-Trent, which you can find details (and maps of) of at this URL: https://staffslug.org.uk/events/

All users of any OS are welcome to come along! Disregard the fact that StaffsLUG are helping to host it!

You should be able to find details of the event at this other URL which is our calendar: https://staffslug.org.uk/calendar/

But essentially it’ll cover…

  • An introduction to CAcert from one of their UK volunteers Alex.
  • We’ll also cover SSL in general for anyone unfamiliar.
  • Time for assurances (for free certificates with CAcert, you’ll need this), to participate in this you’ll need to bring some form of ID as mentioned here (e.g. Passport and Driving License).
  • We’re being joined by people from CAcert and existing users of CAcert who’ll be able to help issue points during the assurance part.

If anyone has any further thoughts about things we should be considering for the event and/or things you like to see covered. Let us know! For the latest details, see our UK mailing list: https://lists.cacert.org/wws/info/cacert-uk

CAcert présent en Allemagne avec Secure-U, au Froscon 2019

CAcert staff talking to interested public and giving assurances at FrOSCon booth

CAcert at FrOSCon 2019

La conférence FrOSCon se déroulait les 10 et 11 août derniers, près de Cologne en Allemagne. Elle était hébergée par l’Université des Sciences Appliquées Bonn-Rhein-Sieg. CAcert y était présent au coté de Secure-u, son partenaire en Allemagne depuis des années.

Cette conférence annuelle est l’occasion pour CAcert de rencontrer ses membres et utilisateurs, et plus généralement de présenter son approche de la certification des identités réelles à un public convaincu de l’attrait des solutions basées sur les logiciels libres. Sur un plan humain, la rencontre a donné lieu à bien des échanges sympathiques.

Cet évènement fut aussi l’occasion pour les membres les plus actifs de se mobiliser pour son organisation. Merci à eux !

“Par ma contribution financière, j’encourage le travail des bénévols comme Alex et Dirk qui sèment la nouvelle de CAcert lors des expositions et des conférences; c’est ma façon de leur dire merci. Je fait un don maintenant”.

CAcert at Fosdem 2019

On February, 2nd and 3rd, Fosdem in Brussels (Belgium) will open its doors. It is an ideal platform to get informed about free software – and of course CAcert will attend. The fair takes place in the ULB Campus.

But: This time CAcert and secure-u will NOT have stand there due to limited space in the builings. On Saturday noon and Sunday morning I’ll be at Infodesk in K-Building, where wearing my white CAcert Jacket to answer questions about the current status of CAcert and secure-u.

Feel free to contact me there for a short talk … or to agree to a later schedule after my shift there for a longer discussion about CAcert support, software …

CAcert und secure-u sind dieses Mal aus organisatorischen Gründen NICHT mit einem Stand dabei. Ab Samstag Mittag werde ich mit meiner weissen CAcert-Jacke aber vor Ort sein, um Fragen zum aktuellen Stand von CAcert und secure-u zu beantworten.

Sollte jemand anderes vom CAcert-Team auch am Sonntag vor Ort sein, werde ich diesen Blog-Post entsprechend anpassen.
