<h3> <a name="3"> 3. </a> Law and Jurisdiction </h3>

||||||
|
<h4> <a name="3.1"> 3.1 </a> Governing Law </h4>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
This agreement is governed under the law of
|
||||||
|
New South Wales, Australia.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h4> <a name="3.2"> 3.2 </a> Arbitration as Forum of Dispute Resolution </h4>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
You agree, with CAcert and all of the Community,
|
||||||
|
that all disputes arising out
|
||||||
|
of or in connection to our use of CAcert services
|
||||||
|
shall be referred to and finally resolved
|
||||||
|
by Arbitration under the rules within the
|
||||||
|
Dispute Resolution Policy of CAcert
|
||||||
|
(DRP => COD7).
|
||||||
|
The rules select a single Arbitrator chosen by CAcert
|
||||||
|
from among senior Members in the Community.
|
||||||
|
The ruling of the Arbitrator is binding and
|
||||||
|
final on Members and CAcert alike.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
In general, the jurisdiction for resolution of disputes
|
||||||
|
is within CAcert's own forum of Arbitration,
|
||||||
|
as defined and controlled by its own rules (DRP => COD7).
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
We use Arbitration for many purposes beyond the strict
|
||||||
|
nature of disputes, such as governance and oversight.
|
||||||
|
A systems administrator may
|
||||||
|
need authorisation to conduct a non-routine action,
|
||||||
|
and Arbitration may provide that authorisation.
|
||||||
|
Thus, you may find yourself party to Arbitration
|
||||||
|
that is simply support actions, and you may file disputes in
|
||||||
|
order to initiate support actions.
|
||||||
|
</p>

<h4> <a name="3.3"> 3.3 </a> Termination </h4>
|
||||||
|
<span class="strike12">
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
You may terminate this agreement by resigning from CAcert. You may do this at any time by
|
||||||
|
writing to CAcert's online support forum and filing dispute to resign.
|
||||||
|
All services will be terminated, and your certificates will be revoked.
|
||||||

However, some information will continue to be held for certificate processing purposes.
|

</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
The provisions on Arbitration survive any termination by you by leaving CAcert.
|
||||||
|
That is, even if you resign from CAcert, you are still bound by the DRP (COD7),
|
||||||
|
and the Arbitrator may reinstate any provision of this agreement or bind you to a ruling.

# The CAcert policy repository
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This repository contains work in progress policy documents for CAcert.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Getting started using Git
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We use [Git](https://www.git-scm.com/) for working with this repository. Git is
|
||||||
|
a free and open source distributed version control system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Installing Git
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To work with Git you need a piece of client software. Git is available for all
|
||||||
|
major operating systems. On Linux systems Git is available from your
|
||||||
|
distribution's package manager and can be installed using something like
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
# install Git on Debian based systems
|
||||||
|
sudo apt install git
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
or
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
# install Git on Fedora based systems
|
||||||
|
sudo dnf install git
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For Windows or MacOS you should use the binary installers from the [Git
|
||||||
|
Download Page](https://www.git-scm.com/downloads).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### First steps with Git
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Open a Terminal window (Linux and MacOS have default terminal applications, on
|
||||||
|
Windows you might want to use the *Git bash* that comes bundled with the Git
|
||||||
|
client installation).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tell Git who you are and what email address you would like to use. This
|
||||||
|
information will be put in commits you will do later.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
# Tell Git who you are
|
||||||
|
git config --global user.name "Your Full Name"
|
||||||
|
git config --global user.email "yourname@cacert.org"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Get a clone of this repository
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A local working copy is called a *clone* in Git terminology. Run
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
cd $HOME/where-your-projects-live
|
||||||
|
git clone https://code.cacert.org/cacert/cacert-policies.git
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
to get your local copy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Update your local copy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you have not worked on your copy for a while you can update it with the
|
||||||
|
following commands:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
cd $HOME/where-your-projects-live/cacert-policies
|
||||||
|
git pull -r
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Making changes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to make changes to the content of the repository, working on a Git
|
||||||
|
branch is recommended. You can have multiple branches in your local Git clone
|
||||||
|
and can switch between these.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
cd $HOME/where-your-projects-live/cacert-policies
|
||||||
|
# create a branch for your work
|
||||||
|
git checkout -b some-topic-you-will-work-on
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can then make changes in the files in your working copy as you like. You
|
||||||
|
can also add new files. When you are satisfied with what you have, you can add
|
||||||
|
the changes to Git's staging area (in some documents this is also called the
|
||||||
|
*index*):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
git add .
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can show the status of your local copy using
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
git status
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you would like to remove a file you can run
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
git rm the-file-you-do-not-want-anymore
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To publish your changes for review you need to create a commit and push your
|
||||||
|
branch to the origin repository.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Please make yourself familiar with [how to write good Git commit
|
||||||
|
messages](https://cbea.ms/git-commit/). It will make the life of your future
|
||||||
|
self and of other contributors a lot better.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
# Make a commit
|
||||||
|
git commit -m "Add inspiration quotes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Fixes #1"
|
||||||
|
# Push your branch to the origin repository
|
||||||
|
git push origin some-topic-you-will-work-on
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may repeat the edit, commit, push cycle multiple times and finally create a
|
||||||
|
pull request by clicking on the link in the output of the git push command.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Switching to another branch
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you wait for a review on your pull request or want to work on a different
|
||||||
|
topic you can switch to the main branch and start a new branch from there as
|
||||||
|
described above.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
git switch main
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Recommended reading
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Git comes with a very comprehensive built-in help. Help can be retrieved using
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
# get help for Git as a whole
|
||||||
|
git help
|
||||||
|
# get help for a specific command, in this case git switch
|
||||||
|
git help switch
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you would like to dive deeper into Git you can read the free [Pro Git
|
||||||
|
book](https://www.git-scm.com/book/) on the Git website.
|
||||||
|

||||||
|
## Markdown
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
New documents should be written in Markdown syntax. Markdowns goal is to
|
||||||
|
provide a human readable and writable syntax that can easily be transformed to
|
||||||
|
representations in several output formats.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We use the [CommonMark](https://commonmark.org/) variant of Markdown with the
|
||||||
|
[table extension](https://github.github.com/gfm/#tables-extension-). CommonMark
|
||||||
|
is well supported in Markdown libraries and conversion tools. The
|
||||||
|
code.cacert.org system can render CommonMark Markdown documents to HTML
|
||||||
|
allowing for easily accessible previews.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Recommended tooling
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To preview Markdown in several formats (HTML, PDF, Office documents) you can
|
||||||
|
use [Pandoc](https://pandoc.org/) which is packaged for multiple Linux
|
||||||
|
distributions and has installers for Windows and MacOS.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As Markdown is a plain text format you may use any text editor like Vim,
|
||||||
|
notepad++ and a lot of alternatives.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you prefer a live preview and some more assistance you may use a more
|
||||||
|
heavyweight tool like Visual Studio Code or any of the JetBrains IDEs like
|
||||||
|
PyCharm.
