OK, some other time and place then. > my suggestion would be fosdem.

Fosdem would be nice indeed. For one thing, I don't think that OpenSC belongs strictly to the Linux theme, more like "generic open source" or security. But Linux events usually have the best overall spirit. Another option might be some reasonable barcamp style event, if it has a good theme and a good location. Location is important, as for people in EU it should be somewhere "central" or well connected with easy/cheap connections flights/trains. As much as I like Athens for example, it is somewhat far. >> If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.

As it seems, GnuTLS has experimental support for PKCS#11, which only exists in an old release. I did not find any references to PKCS#11 in the latest (2.8.6) release. NSS has deep connections with PKCS#11 and it should be straightforward for anyone who works with NSS and/or belongs to NSS docs. With OpenSSL it is trickier, especially if the engine interface is used (which, again, belongs to OpenSC lists and wikis). But of course, nice code examples on how to use OpenSC PKCS#11 (and thus all generic PKCS#11 code examples) would be nice to have. > * developer documentation.

Developer documentation as OpenSC developer documentation or something else? Something that would help analyze Windows drivers or proprietary drivers? > * maybe also write / help with acos5 driver. Somebody said he is working on an ACOS5 driver. Have not heard anything since then. But I'd gladly like to help as much as possible anyone who steps up with the intention of writing a driver as well. I'm personally more interested in proper JavaCard support (has various vendors) than for a single card. -- Martin Paljak http://martin.paljak.pri.ee +3725156495 _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
