Hi SAC,

Last year Larry as part of QGIS and Boundless, proposed to create a
single signed QGIS installer to make it easier to install QGIS on MacOSx
(see [0] and [1].

In [2] Jody says there was a motion to buy those 'code-signing
certificates' for general use of Osgeo projects.

Now that 2.14 (an Long Term Release version) is released the plan is to
actually create this signed installer by Larry, sponsored in time by his
employer. In a recent private msg Larry proposes these [3] certificates.

So Question: who should (and can) buy and put these certs in a safe, and
make it possible for Larry to get one and create an installer?

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
