[Qgis-psc] [SAC] Osgeo Code signing certificates

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

From my side (and as a Mac user) I would like to say that I don’t find the discussion below very productive. I would like to see QGIS available to as many users as possible with the best possible experience on all platforms and if we are to do that we need to work within the frameworks of those platforms, even if the mechanisms that those platforms have in place don’t always represent a great culture fit - or simply not support those platforms.

And -1 from me to charging people for signed QGIS installers on OSX.

Regards

Tim

Unless, the QGIS project also does not wish to manage it; in which case I will pay for it myself and share the certificates/keys with William Kyngsburye.
