Sponsoring a Yubikey for Debian contributors during Debconf 22
Dear everyone,
Like I did twice already, Infomaniak is happy to sponsor a Yubikey to
every Debconf attendee that is also a Debian contributor.
The rules to get a Yubikey are:
- You *must* contact me privately to request your Yubikey *before* I am
myself going to Prizren. I'll write your name on a list, and check for
it during Debconf. You will have to find me and ask me when on site (do
not be shy, I don't bite...).
- You must have contributed to Debian over the last 5 years (it doesn't
have to be packaging, for example some translation or website content is
also ok).
- You should not ask for a Yubikey if you already had one from
Infomaniak already (except if the one we gave you is broken).
- You must attend Debconf in person yourself, or one of your relative.
So if someone from your country is going, it's ok if he/she takes the
Yubikey for you. The reason is: we will *not* organize shipping (please
don't ask, we really will not do shipping).
- You do agree that I keep your name + email address on my list (which I
wont share with anyone, it's just to make sure people don't request for
a Yubikey twice).
Requesters with their key in the keyring (ie: DDs / DMs) will have
priority, as there is a limited amount of keys available, however every
times I did it, there was enough for everyone, so feel free to ask for a
Yubikey even if you're not a DD/DM.
Note that I gave a quick tutorial on how to use the Yubikey 3 years ago
in Debconf Brazil, and the video is available online [1]. If you have
questions about this that isn't answered in the video recording, I will
be happy to help during Debconf (I am the keymaster of Infomaniak, and
help every new employe create keys, so I do have some training using GPG
and a Yubikey).
Also note that the Yubikey is a version 4, USB A, printed with the
Infomaniak logo on it. We found this model the most resistant (it can
even go to the washing machine, but you must make sure you don't bend it
too hard).
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
