Public Relations Department
Our Vision
It is our vision to create a CAcert Public Relations Department where Infos wich are , working as an Assurer or just seeking some information can find the further informations and tutorials he is looking for.
It is definitely a long way to go, so this wiki entry should describe the ideas behind that vision, the work currently in progress and the resources already available.
Info
Right now, we could use some help in the following areas
- As the primary development language of the presentations is often german, we are looking for a native english speaker who is willing to check the english transaltions. Just use the contact information below!
- We need some Designers (web and print) who could look over the existing papers, Styleguides, Flyers and so on
- If someone has taken pictures from past events or wrote some blog entrys or other stuff, please send us!

There still exists a styleguide (https://svn.cacert.org/CAcert/PR/CAcert_Styleguide.pdf Version 0.4 – October 2007) but this has to read as a WIP or as a proposal. On my research thru the archives I did not find any motions, nor decisions so far that brings this document to at least DRAFT state to make this "official" or reading in policies bring this to "binding". Maybe its backed up by the IPR (usage of logo), but also for this topic I didn't found the source. So in essence, this styleguide has to be read as a commendation, but not as binding.
