Abstract:
This page provides three kinds of information. At first it tells how to get in touch with me in various ways. Second to that, it provides information how to get in touch with people which are considered contributors to the platform. Thirdly, this page tells about how to join the communication channels used by contributors e.g. mailing list or MUC (Multi User Chat) rooms.

Contributors Communication Channels
For those who are eager to contribute to this website/platform e.g. by
adding content, proofreading, programming, etc. I put in place our
called CCCs (Contributors Communication Channels).
However, the CCCs are also used to foster communications amongst the
contributors and the readership e.g. to exchange knowledge. We are
looking forward seeing you at the CCCs! ;-]
Short Version
- we have an IRC channel (
#sunoano) at irc.freenode.net
- mailing list will follow should we need/want it
Contact individual Contributors
Those individuals listed in this section are contributors to this
website/platform. Folks need to become substantial contributors in
order to be listed here or I need to know them for their contributions
to other FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) projects.
By default, for privacy reasons, no one is listed here — if someone
wants to show up here, then he decides what kind of information goes
here. However, it should be concise e.g. a URL to his website/blog, an
email address and maybe the same stuff as I have above.
No ads! No commercial stuff! No images or videos!
How to contact Me
There are various forms you might get in touch with me, email probably
being the preferable one ...
Email
Why this image?
What to consider when sending email:
- Do not use HTML but plain ASCII. Do not use email attachments of any
kind. I use Gnus for scoring email send to me — HTML and
attachments get low scores i.e. they end up at the tail of my email
queue and if I am short in time, I probably will not make it there.
- Brevity is the soul of wit. No chatter — keep emails concise, get
straight to the point.
- If possible, sign your email (see below).
Save and Sound
I urge folks to sign and encrypt messages send to me so I can be sure
they are who they claim to be (authentication) and also, we can be
sure no one else but we (sender and receiver) knows about the contents
of the message (because it is encrypted).
In order to do so, we need to have (each one of us i.e. sender and
receiver) an OpenPGP conform keypair. One way to get one is to use GPG
(GNU Privacy Guard).
If you do not have such a keypair yet and/or you have no clue what I
am talking about, no worries, just follow the link from above, follow
the instructions, and return afterwards with your own keypair. That
said, my public key is
sa@wks:~$ gpg --fingerprint website
pub 4096R/2D203D54 2009-06-09
Key fingerprint = 113E 5DEA AE09 F1BB 7226 4061 FD6E FCB5 2D20 3D54
uid Suno Ano (http://sunoano.name) <suno.ano[at]foo.org>
uid Suno Ano (http://sunoano.name) <website[at]foo.name>
sub 4096R/BFD5362F 2009-06-09
sa@wks:~$
You can import my public OpenPGP key into your public keyring like
this
sa@wks:~$ gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --search 0x113E5DEAAE09F1BB72264061FD6EFCB52D203D54
gpg: searching for "0x113E5DEAAE09F1BB72264061FD6EFCB52D203D54" from hkp server keys.gnupg.net
(1) Suno Ano (http://sunoano.name) <suno.ano[at]foo.org>
Suno Ano (http://sunoano.name) <website[at]foo.name>
4096 bit RSA key 2D203D54, created: 2009-06-09
Keys 1-1 of 1 for "0x113E5DEAAE09F1BB72264061FD6EFCB52D203D54". Enter number(s), N)ext, or Q)uit > Q
sa@wks:~$
You do not enter Q but 1 and then hit RET. Now you can sign (using
your private key) and encrypt (using my public key) messages send to
me. Note, for the above 4 email addresses, replace [at]foo with
@sunoano — I did this for reasons of spam protection (the images
above show the email addresses anyway).
Phone
Sorry, I dislike phones ... Or well, let me rephrase that. I hate the
effects phones have on our lives and society as a whole.
IRC
My IRC (Internet Relay Chat) nickname is sunoano — this website has
information about how to join the IRC network.
Xing

Instant Messaging
I use XMPP, a protocol at the core of the well-known Jabber messaging
technology. My Jabber ID is sunoano@jabber.org.
Those who think about getting in contact with me using Jabber, let it
be known that I use OTR (Off-the-Record) messaging with Jabber. In
case one is using Pidgin as I do, there is a plug-in available to
enable Pidgin for OTR messaging. On Debian it can easily be installed
with aptitude install pidgin-otr.
