As you all might know or not, KDE is moving to git. With applying for an svn you had the option to choose for a https account with a password. With the move to git now in high gear we have to convert all those accounts to ssh accounts.

What will happen is that we will send every https user personal invitation to go a to a webpage. On this webpage you can upload your public ssh key or indicate that the account should be disabled, because you don’t use it anymore.

The invitations will be send in like two weeks. Every invitation that bounces will probably mean that the account will be disabled. So we can not stress enough that you check your email address which is associated with your account. You can find it in kde-common/accounts. You can simply do a checkout and commit changes to your own entry.

Ssh users dont have to do anything, your public keys will migrate automatically. Https users, please wait for the invitation, as we will automate most of the process to move you from https to ssh. So there is no need to request the move from https to ssh at KDE’s sysadmin, unless you are developer of the first couple test projects.
