Keysigning: last day to submit keys

philip — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 13:23:59 +0000

Please don't forget to submit your keys to the keyserver before tomorrow if you intend to participate in the keysigning event. Tomorrow around midnight (CET) the keyserver will be closed and we'll be generating the final list of participants.

If you're not on the list, you will not be able to participate. We are too many people to deal with slips of paper from people not on the list.

See http://fosdem.org/keysigning for more information.

FOSDEM Beer Event

philip — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 13:36:35 +0000

As every year, there will be a FOSDEM beer event on Friday night before FOSDEM (February 4th 2011).
This year's event will again take place at the Delirium Café, in a beautiful alley near the Grand'Place in Brussels. In addition to the enormous variety in beers, the location also has enough room to accommodate the vast crowd of geeks we tend to be.
Delirium Security will again help us keep this area FOSDEM-only. If you meet a guard at the entrance to the bar, make it clear to him that you are there for the FOSDEM party. Wearing appropriately geeky attire tends to do the trick, as does mentioning the name FOSDEM.

Keysigning and CAcert Assurance

philip — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 15:10:27 +0000

Web of Trust

PGP public key and CAcert certificate identification are based on multiple (the more the better) people doing an identification check against official identity documents such as driving permits, passports, national identity cards, etc.: the Web of Trustworthy. The Web of Trust is a reciprocal process: people identify themselves to each other.

The "keysigning party" is essential to strengthen the Web of Trust and keep the security technique open and freely available.

Like previous years, there will be a PGP key signing and CAcert assurance party at FOSDEM 2011.

Certification Exams

philip — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 14:30:12 +0000

Certification exam sessions will again be offered at FOSDEM 2011.

The Linux Professional Institute, the BSD Certification Group and TYPO3 will organize exam sessions during FOSDEM 2011. Interested candidates can now register for exams with the respective certification groups.

The schedule for the exam sessions is also available now.
