+Hi Seth -
+
+ 
+
+  I wrote to Peter very shortly after our email exchange, but I have not heard anything back.
+
+Basically, I can sum up our inquiry this way --
+
+ 
+
+  * OSGeo.org wants to participate in  Let's Encrypt
+
+  * OSGeo.org may want to purchase PKI certificates from a Certificate Authority, to sign binaries for WIndows and Mac
+
+      which CA to choose ?
+
+  * in general, PKI certificates in line with your current thinking while we setup some new servers  (mainly at OSUOSL)
+
+ 
+
+thanks --Brian

+    Hi Brian,
+
+    Thanks for your interest in Let's Encrypt! I'm on sabbatical so you
+    should probably try Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org> if you have further
+    questions.
+
+    I hope Let's Encrypt can be useful to OSGeo, but in answer to your
+    question, we're planning to do only TLS server certificates and not
+    any other kind of certificate (for example, we're not planning to
+    offer code signing certificates). All of our certificates will be
+    Domain Validation only and will be free of charge. They should be
+    available to the public during the week of November 21, and there's
+    a beta program now that's going to be issuing live certificates to
+    users before then. It should still be possible to join the beta,
+    but I can't guarantee how soon before general availability you would
+    end up getting access (it might even turn out to be around the time
+    of general availability).
