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.

    You don't have to run a daemon to interact with ACME. Provided your certificate is still valid for the period, at any given time you can periodically do a refresh yourself. Personally I'm planning on using a shell script with wget to do it. I may possibly make a more sturdy perl script in the future, but that doesn't seem necessary as the spec is now (although probably not especially fault tolerant).
