Goteo Campaign: Preliminary Results

Posted May 12, 2014 by Werner

+Here is a quick campaign status update: After the t-shirts arrived as +expected the week after Eastern, Mechthilde, Michael, Penny, Rainer, +and me met the other day at the FSFE office in D?sseldorf. Due to +Rainer?s excellent preparation we quickly folded, enveloped, and +stamped about 300 t-shirts and snailed them. Kudos to them for +helping with this task. There are still a few t-shirts we have not +been able to sent because some of our contributors did not reply to +several mails asking for missing address details, or the postmaster +returned them due to faulty addresses. If you expected a t-shirt and +did not receive one, please contact me at accounts at GnuPG dot net. +Most of the stickers have also been snailed but a few are still +pending due to uncertain addresses. +

+The main GnuPG site is now +accessible via TLS and plain http access is redirected to the https +address. Strict Transport Security (HSTS) has also been enabled. In +the case of problems with TLS the site may still be accessed +non-encrypted via +http://www.tla-friendly.gnupg.org. +

+To accomplish another promise of the campaign, the website may now be +accessed as TOR hidden service at +http://ic6au7wa3f6naxjq.onion. Being +a well known and intentionally public site, it does not make much +sense to have it as a hidden service. However, if the site is to be +accessed anyway via Tor we can avoid the extra TLS layer and and allow +direct access. Note that lists.gnupg.org and some other services are +not available via an onion address. +

+Finally here are preliminary financial results of the campaign: +

+Our contributors donated a total of 37270 Euro. Due to card and +Paypal processing problems we actually received 36732 Euro. The +preliminary costs for running the campaign are 18590 Euros, so +that 18142 Euro are available for the goals. Here is an overview +of the costs: +
