Hi there!

I'm hoping to meet some CACert assurers in the TC area, possibly as soon as the weekend of the 14th, and was told by a former TCMaker member this was the place to look. I've got a bit of a drive from Watertown (SD) to overcome, so my getting there will likely hinge on the weather being nice, but optimistically, that weekend is when I'd like to head in. Please e-mail me if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks all!

Erik Jepsen

I'm an assurer for CAcert.

If you'd like to be assured, bring 2 forms of government issued photo ID
as well as the assurance form and I can assign you some points. Let me
know a bit in advance again too so I can remember! :)

I'll warn you in advance: I don't have the ability to assign too many
points as I'm a fairly new assurer.

There should be a couple more assurers here too.

Thank you,
Michael Englehorn

Thanks Michael,

I'm the person who recommended Erik reach out to the Hack factory list.

I know we have several other people with CAcert assurance abilities.

I would be handy to get all of us in one place and add more assurers in one place.

Anyone else?

My preference is for Sat, Nov 14, but if it's going to work better for everyone else, I'll reschedule for Nov 15. It's going to be a 4 hr. drive for me, so weather is also going to play a role this late in the year.

I could use a few more points as well, I have 20 now so if a few more Assurers show up hopefully I can get up to 100.

With enough people participating, we can maybe take someone from zero to useful to others!

I'm at 150 can can't get any higher. I began in Chicago as a seed for the US. Would be nice to get a strong community going in the Twin Cities,

Something else everyone way be interested in, I received news the beta is active and I've been given the green light to start issuing working certificates for https://letsencrypt.org/ - That's my weekend project. They're valid for 90 days and automatically get reissued/renewed with an agent installed on the servers.

I've gotten the green light for the letsencrypt beta too! :D I just need to upgrade my webserver because their client doesn't work on CentOS 6. :(

Hey folks!

I got my first 10 points today in Omaha. AFAICT, Minneapolis and Omaha seem to have the closest assurers with Omaha actually being slightly further away...In any case, the assurer, Al Heisner, suggested I take a peek at the TTP Assurance program. As I read it, the program is currently under review to make sure it passes audit muster.

Is that your understanding as well?

Instead how about 1pm as I'll be onsite for the CNC group at 2pm.

The weather looks like it'll be agreeable the whole weekend. I think, Eric, you're the only one that has expressed a preference, so Sunday, ~1:30. I won't be able to stay much past 3pm, though.

If any assurers can't make it Sunday, I am going to try to come in Sat. and stay overnight.

See you soon!

Erik

Given the likely overlap on interest and already verifying identities, are people planning to bring GPG/PGP fingerprints and do a keysigning too?

I just wanted to thank everyone who stopped by to assure. I was amazed by how many people showed up. Thanks to you all, I am now able to assure folks out of the Watertown, SD area, so if you know anyone who needs some extra XP, by all means send them my way.

Again, thank you all for coming. Wow.

Erik
