Keysigning party / trusting government-issued ID?
by Daniel Pocock 07 Jan '17

07 Jan '17

Will people be trusting Government-issued ID documents at the keysigning party this year? What are the alternatives? Would anybody be interested in expanding the information about this topic on the page[1] about FOSDEM keysigning? Regards, Daniel "Berlin truck killer Amri had 14 identities in Germany" http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38516691 Spy agencies using fake passports for assassinations, why wouldn't they use them for keysigning too? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Mahmoud_Al-Mabhouh Fake passport at FOSDEM 2016 keysigning? https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2016-February/002445.html 1. https://fosdem.org/2017/keysigning/

Late Arrival to Keysigning Party?
by Anton Marchukov 06 Jan '17

06 Jan '17

Hello. Anybody minds if I arrive late to the keysigning party, e.g. by about 30 minutes? Is it generally possible? Previously, I was always joining from the beginning, but this time I have my talk overlapping slightly with the beginning of the keysigning party. I do not mind if I get fifty signatures less or so. AFAIK Zimmermann–Sassaman protocol is quite ok for that besides the group check of the hash of the key list file. But, I will be quite convinced that it matches if I do sufficient number of random comparisons with what other people have. Then I should be able to squeeze in the circle and finish the rest of the verification. Hope nobody objects that and I did not overlook any security or other implications. Anton.

Embdedded devroom event schedule delay?
by Dr. Philipp Klaus Krause 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

According to the embedded devroom call for participation (https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-automotive/2016Oct/0034.html) the final speaker confirmation is on Friday the 16th of December. However, my "Small Device C Compiler" proposal still has state "undecided". Has there been a change of schedule? Philipp

SDR Devroom: Schedule finalized!
by Martin Braun 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

Hi everyone, If you submitted a talk to the SDR devroom at next year's FOSDEM, you might already be aware that we've updated the status of your submissions. In case you hadn't checked Pentabarf though, please do so know. Also, I don't have all submitter's email addresses, so I'm CC'ing the mailing lists as well. Please log in to Pentabarf and check the following items in your submission page: - Under the 'General' tab, your submission state should be either 'accepted' or 'rejected'. That's how you know how we decided. - We've already grouped and scheduled the talks. If necessary, we can shuffle times around, but we really like our current schedule. - In some cases, we modified the durations you chose for your presentations. In general, it's tough to fit 1-hour presentations into a single day, so we shortened those. In 2 cases, we actually changed the duration from 20 minutes to 30 minutes, because this works so much better with our schedule. Don't worry if you don't actually have all that much content: First, this includes Q&A *and* handover, and also, we can use these as buffer time. Since we're packed to the brim, we'll try very hard to stay on schedule throughout the day. - If you can't make it, or there is some other issue, this would be a really good time to let us know. - Please provide all the info for your talk, as well as for your bio page! For your talk, we'd like at least an abstract as well as a description (the former can be a subset of the latter). An image/icon would also be nice. Of course, after FOSDEM, we'd also like you to upload your slides -- if you already have a tentative slide set, you can upload that already. You can always update! - The bio page is part of your account settings. It makes the whole thing more accessible and less anonymous if you fill this out. Thanks for making this a great track! I'm very happy with the mix of talks, and am looking forward to meeting you all in person at ULB. Cheers, Martin
