Verified Publisher request for webthingsio

Hello, I would like to request Verified Publisher status for the webthingsio Snapcraft account, on behalf of Krellian Ltd. and the WebThings open source community.

A list of the snaps that you have, that should have a verified publisher associated with them.

The institution, foundation or company that you are a member of or work for.

Krellian Ltd., sponsors of the WebThings open source project.

(From a legal perspective “WebThings” is a trading name of, and registered UK trademark owned by, Krellian Ltd.)

Your role within that institution, foundation or company.

Founder of Krellian Ltd. and founder of the WebThings open source project, which is sponsored by Krellian.

The group email address that should be tied to the Verified Account.

team@webthings.io

The way in which your institution has worked, collaborated or partnered with us. If your institution, foundation or company hasn’t so far, let’s start a conversation.

Krellian is currently in a contractual relationship with Canonical, receiving consultancy services to help with the creation of a snap package and custom OS image for the WebThings Gateway software application.

Whilst Krellian’s own Snapcraft account received Verified Publisher status following a previous project (and upcoming future projects), this request is to verify the separate webthingsio account on behalf of the WebThings open source community. That account may be used by trusted members (module owners) of the WebThings community who are not necessarily employees of Krellian, in accordance with the WebThings Module Ownership System (governance process).

Account verification has been recommended by Canonical in order to facilitate the creation of custom OS images using a model assertion.

+1 from me - this request appears to meet all the expected requirements of the Verified Accounts process.

Thanks @alexmurray, does this require a second +1?

@benfrancis - yes, as per the linked process above:

  • If at least 2 members of the @policy-reviewers group review, leave their feedback and approve, then the account will become Verified. You will be a trusted publisher in the Store.

Can other @policy-reviewers please chime in here?

Thank you for your patience @benfrancis. A +1 from my side as well, and the webthingsio Snapcraft account is now verified.

Great, thank you!

Ben
