Yes, I can; thanks for worrying!

The FSFE can be of use, here, as they're wildly keen to send out a ton of such materials. I asked them for a plussy sticker for my new laptop a few months back, and instead got an envelope stuffed with stickers, postcards and leaflets, plus a couple of big posters. You might start there!

It's what I do, too; I've never found a need for anything more automated than the steps Xylon outlines. Been using CM ever since my late, lamented OpenMoko phone became completely outclassed and was retired to a drawer.

I note that the uLogin OpenID plugin, whilst lovely (and many thanks for it!) isn't quite getting OpenID right. My OpenID URL is https://www.teaparty.net; that contains delegation pointers to my *current* identity provider, but the uLogin plugin has registered my OpenID as being that delegated provider (https://openid.yubico.com/...), rather than teaparty.net. The whole idea of OpenID is to allow me to use a URL under my control to decouple my identity from any backend provider, so storing the current provider rather than the master URL is rather missing the whole point. It also means that if I have to change my provider, as I fairly often do, my login to this BB will stop working.
This isn't fatal, and if only a handful of users are using the BB, it doesn't matter - though you may end up occasionally having to field unlock requests from me by email! But I thought I'd mention it.

I think it will depend heavily on the details of Brexit, which of course have still very much to be worked out. If (God forbid), we go for a hard Brexit, I agree that being under WTO rules will naturally move us closer to the US way of doing things. If, however, we get a very soft Brexit, or even BINO (Brexit In Name Only), then we'll still have to honour all the EU's rules in order to have access to the single market, so our EU-oriented focus will continue.
Personally, I'm still hoping that the sheer complexity of exit / challenges to the use of the Royal Prerogative / Parliament's insistence on having a voice / the UK's desire for negotiation-before-notification and the EU's desire for notification-before-negotiation will prevent Article 50 from being triggered until we're less than two years from the next general election, at which point the country can legitimately revisit the decision taken in the referendum - and hopefully reverse the course.

and I'd like to thank Xylon for adding OpenID login support (and some other federated ID management systems) to this site.
