All, this email will serve as a comparison between the two vendors which |
| 4 |
have provided quotes to the Foundation. This does not include Alice's |
| 5 |
proposal as U2FZero is currently out of stock in the United States and |
| 6 |
does not seem to offer any availability in Asia. Alice did suggest that |
| 7 |
we split vendors across geographical markets, but I find this will make |
| 8 |
the situation become very difficult to handle. It would also put the |
| 9 |
burden on individuals to receive and disperse the tokens and increase |
| 10 |
shipping costs, burden the treasurer for reimbursements to be processed, |
| 11 |
and possibly cause delays. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Yubikey: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Quote received for (150) Yubikey FIPS tokens. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Unit Price: $44.16 USD |
| 18 |
Total: $6,624 USD |
| 19 |
Discount: 4% (already available to anyone ordering in bulk) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Shipping costs can be found at [1] and the lowest cost projections |
| 22 |
given. They do not offer any standard costs for shipping and cannot |
| 23 |
discount it. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Open source: Several products are no longer open sourced and tracking |
| 26 |
which is/is not can be difficult [4]. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Nitrokey: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Quote received based on (150) Nitrokey Pro tokens. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Unit Price: 27,59 € ($31.58 USD at the time of this email) |
| 33 |
Total: 4,138.50 € ($4737.06 USD at the time of this email) |
| 34 |
Discount: 33% (With sponsorship agreement on gentoo.org) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
All prices are already inclusive of VAT. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Shipping times can be found here [2]. Shipping costs can be found here |
| 39 |
[3]. The most expensive shipping is worldwide starting at 7,40 € |
| 40 |
($8.47 USD at the the time of this email). |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Nitrokey has also offered several unique options for Gentoo. They will |
| 43 |
provide a custom portal which allows each developer to request their |
| 44 |
security token. This is done via a Foundation (infra really) provided |
| 45 |
list of valid gentoo.org email addresses. Additionally, they will |
| 46 |
provide monthly billing of all purchased devices and the Foundation is |
| 47 |
not obligated to purchase all (150) tokens. This can be a standing |
| 48 |
agreement until the Foundation decides to remove financial support. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Considering both vendors, we can estimate shipping at the highest cost |
| 51 |
in order to best prepare for potential expenses. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Open source: All products are considered open [4]. |

Motion: I move that the board vote to accept the offer from Yubico or |
| 58 |
Nitrokey and begin our agreement with the accepted vendor beginning 1 |
| 59 |
September 2018. This motion will provide security tokens to all current |
| 60 |
developers listed in Gentoo's LDAP infrastructure as of 31 August 2018. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Motion: I move that the board vote to maintain the aforementioned |
| 63 |
agreement in order to support future Gentoo developers with security |
| 64 |
tokens. This motion includes the right to terminate future purchases |
| 65 |
based on the Foundation's financials. |
