Gentoo-announce

The Gentoo Foundation[1] has partnered with Nitrokey[2] to equip all
Gentoo developers with free Nitrokey Pro 2[3] devices. Gentoo
developers will use the Nitrokey devices to store cryptographic keys
for signing of git commits and software packages, GnuPG keys, and SSH
accounts.

Thanks to the Gentoo Foundation and Nitrokey=E2s discount, each Gentoo
developer is eligible to receive one free Nitrokey Pro 2. To receive
their Nitrokey, developers will need to register with their @gentoo.org
email address at the dedicated order form [4].

A Nitrokey Pro 2 Guide[5] is available on the Gentoo Wiki with FAQ &
instructions for integrating Nitrokeys into developer workflow.

ABOUT NITROKEY PRO 2

"Nitrokey Pro 2"[3] has strong reliable hardware encryption, thanks to
open source. It can help you to: sign Git commits; encrypt emails and
files; secure server access; and protect accounts against identity
theft via two-factor authentication (one-time passwords).
