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.

    No more paying ridiculous fees to CAs who do nothing to earn them - icing on the cake.

    That to me is the best part of the whole deal - sure, the technology is good, but basic certificate installation wasn't all that hard before, the hard part was shelling out cold hard cash to a useless middleman for no good reason.
