GnuPG encryption project launches crowdfunding campaign Today GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) has launched its first crowdfunding campaign [1] with the aim of building a new website and long term infrastructure. The 24.000 EUR target will fund: - Fresh web interfaces for gnupg.org including mobile - Completion and release of GnuPG 2.1 - Anonymous Tor network access to the website - A new user friendly download page suitable for all devices - A new server for web services - New pages convening external guides, videos, and handbooks - Facilities for processing recurring donations for long term project support Project founder and Lead Developer Werner Koch said “GnuPG has seen a huge upsurge in popularity following recent state spying revelations. After 16 years of continuous development, we are now asking for community support to capitalise on consumer demand for privacy, and make GnuPG easy to access for mainstream audiences”. GnuPG is one of the few tools remaining above suspicion in the wake of leaked NSA documents. Edward Snowden and his contacts including Bruce Schneier switched to GnuPG when they began handling the secret documents earlier this year [2]. The Wall Street Journal, The Committee to Protect Journalists, and ProPublica [3] have all embraced GnuPG for protection of staff and sources. Phil Zimmermann, original inventor of Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), has also moved to GnuPG in wake of the news. “GnuPG is a key part of modern privacy infrastructure” said Sam Tuke, Campaign Manager, GnuPG. “Millions of users rely on GnuPG to work securely on servers, laptops and smartphones, but 2013 donations totaling 3.000 EUR to date have not even covered fixed costs. Supporting new algorithms like elliptical curve and fixing newfound exploits fast takes a lot of work which is done voluntarily. Now is the time for people to contribute to making GnuPG slick and more sustainable in future”. Jacob Appelbaum, Tor Project developer, added “GnuPG is important - it allows us the assurances we need to do our work.

Presumably a contraction from brand spanking new a phrase normal common in England when I grew up there.

Maybe my English is a little rusty, but what exactly is a spanking server? They omitted the word new. Spanking new is an English idiom for something that's brand-new; it comes from the tradition of spanking a newborn child in order to spur the child into taking its first breath. Something that's spanking new is supposed to be as new as a newborn child. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

I think brand spanking new server might also leave nationals of some other international english variant speaking countries (eg USA) non native speakers puzzled. It's in common usage in the U.S., although I more often hear it without the brand prefix. That said, brand spanking new is not unusual usage over here. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

A reason might be that they have concerns publishing a translation if not done by lawyer. However, the half-translated TOS would contradict this assumption. I only know of 2 free translaters so far, listed on my http://www.berklix.eu/~jhs/trans/ I bet we will eventually hear about the NSA project to track translation engines.

Re: [Announce] GnuPG launches crowdfunding campaign
Seems likely. (Nice that some NSA activity has just been declared un-constitutional (glimpsed on TV)). A district court judge found the program unconstitutional, but his decision is *extremely* controversial right now. I would happily bet cash money on even odds that this decision will be overturned on appeal. I normally don't like to go into detail about legal cases, but what the hell -- given the general interest in this matter, I hope people will forgive me for going off-topic. The problem comes from a 1979 Supreme Court decision, _Smith v Maryland_ (often just called _Smith_). A woman was receiving harassing phone calls, so the police asked the phone company for records about who was calling her. The phone company turned these records over without a warrant. The harasser was arrested and convicted. He appealed his sentence, claiming that the police should have received a warrant. The Supreme Court refused Mr. Smith's petition using logic sort of like the following: 1. If you're asking the phone company to connect you to another phone number, the phone company knows at least your number and the number you're calling 2. This isn't different from asking a friend to drive you to a place: your friend knows where he picked you up and where he dropped you off 3. In #2, the police don't need a search warrant to get that information from your friend -- they just need a subpoena 4. So in #1, the police shouldn't need a search warrant to get that information from the phone company -- they just need a subpoena I personally find this logic simple, elegant and compelling. That doesn't mean I think it's right: it only means I think it's a very serious opinion that is extremely difficult to refute. The government has used this decision (telephone metadata requires no warrant, only a subpoena) on an extremely large scale... such a large scale that it has created a very serious counterargument. If the police are investigating a crime that happened Thursday night, asking your friends where they picked you up and dropped you off Thursday night is not an infringement of your privacy -- but asking your friends for *all* the times they've picked you up and *all* the times they've dropped you off over the last five years would certainly be seen as overreaching and as a gross privacy violation. At least, such is the counterargument. Judge Leon -- appointed by George W. Bush, a fact that will no doubt stun some people here -- was asked to choose between these two opinions. Interestingly, he really didn't choose. Instead he said, ... I cannot possibly navigate these uncharted Fourth Amendment waters using as my north star a case that predates the use of cell phones. He didn't so much agree with the plaintiffs as he found that the _Smith_ decision was no longer relevant to modern life... and that's where the controversy occurs. He's a district judge. Most judicial ethicists would say that where SCOTUS has given clear and unambiguous guidance on an issue, as _Smith_ appears to, a district court has no business overturning SCOTUS's precedent. (To which the immediate rejoinder is, Yeah, because it would've been such a bad thing for some district judge to decide _Dred Scott_ was a stupid decision.) This case is already being appealed. At the appellate level judges no longer look at the facts of the case: they assume the trial court brought all the relevant facts to light. Instead, the judges look at a much narrower set of questions: (a) was the trial fair?, (b) were the laws correctly applied?, and (c) were precedents correctly cited and followed? No one is arguing that Judge Leon was unfair or that the law is being unfairly applied: the entire appeal will revolve around whether _Smith_ still governs. My feeling is that the appellate court will decide _Smith_ still governs, reversing Judge Leon and approving the metadata program. But I also feel it's very likely SCOTUS will grant cert and agree to hear the case, at which point SCOTUS will be revisiting their _Smith_ decision and potentially giving new guidance for how to apply _Smith's_ reasoning to the modern day. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
