[board-discuss] CAcert Organization Validation

2012-02-07 Thread Florian Effenberger

Hello,

just wanted to share from FOSDEM:

The kind folks of CAcert talked to me and offered that, as soon as we 
have the incorporation documents, we could get an organization 
validation. By that means, one or two of us could create certificates 
for BoD and MC members directly, without each certificate recipient 
having to validate manually.


Although CAcert isn't included in many major browsers and mail clients, 
I think this sounds like a good thing to do, and I'll follow-up as soon 
as I have details.

...and I forgot the most important thing to mention: Why we should do 
so. ;-)


Although it is not enforced, it might make sense to have meeting minutes 
and official BoD decisions signed in the future, to ensure they are 
valid, and everyone can verify. For that, it would be desirable for 
every BoD and MC member + deputy to have their own certificate.


The reason for using S/MIME (X.509) rather than GPG is that

1. LibreOffice can sign ODT with X.509 certificates
2. PDFs can be signed using them as well
3. most mail clients support them out of the box

if nothing special happens, I can jump in. I'll be in the call tomorrow and can 
stand-in for you.

Cheers,

 Dial-in details and the agenda where you can contribute to are available
 at the usual place: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/BoD_Meetings

do we have an agenda for the call already? I can't find a list of items in the 
wiki 
yet.

I think we had to talk about Cebit and missing items for that event.

Regards,
Andreas
