Well I'm currently in Vietnam, so I guess that no I'm not near
enough to anyone (most here seem to be European folks, with 1 or 2
USians)
Makes for round the clock support. We've had a good australian
participation in the past, although Conor is the only person from
there currently active, I believe.
It's also great for open source that there are many people spread
around as I believe different cultures bring different problem
solving abilities to the table
Its an interesting trust problem. You effectively already have some
credentials we implicitly trust (login rights to the cvs server &
minotaur, presumably including SSH private keys). Perhaps we can
bootstrap off that. It doesnt matter that you are who you say you
are, only that the entity who is committing stuff to the repository
is the same person who has the PGP key.
This is why ID cards prove nothing as the original application for
said ID card can be completely fraudulent (think Day of the Jackal).
UK.gov is severely wrong with regard to this - one reason why I won't
be coming back any time soon.
I also have an employer issued x500 key, so I can demonstrate that
I am the person that hp thinks I am, or at least I have their
smartcard. We can use those to bootstrap trust too. After all, who
trusts a paper driving license without a photo on it (like my uk one)
I too have a loo-paper driving license - practically every other
country treats it with utter contempt when you try to use it as ID!
Here it wouldn't count for anything as it doesn't contain a fingerprint
ok, sorry going OT ....
