After much work in background and previous update covered here at soylentnews, the guys over at Let's Encrypt have finally given a launch schedule:
Let’s Encrypt has reached a point where we’re ready to announce our launch schedule.
- First certificate: Week of July 27, 2015
- General availability: Week of September 14, 2015
While this is a bit off from the original mid-2015 launch date, it's a great start towards encrypted web communications.
