And, nearly all free software-based operating systems (which are used by more than two-thirds of the servers running the Internet) rely on GnuPG to verify the integrity of system updates.</p> <p>To continue supporting and improving GnuPG, we, the main GnuPG developers, are soliciting donations from the general public. Our <strong>primary goal</strong> is to raise <strong>15 000 euros per month</strong> to fully fund 3 developers; our <strong>stretch goal</strong> is twice that, <strong>30 000 euros per month</strong>.</p> <p>Please consider donating to ensure that this critical piece of software continues to work for everyone.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div>

<div id="about" class="camp-gutter container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-1"> <h2>GnuPG Needs Your Help!</h2> <p class="text-justify"> <strong><a href="https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/1997-December/014131.html" >For the past 20 years</a>, GnuPG has helped protect online communication.</strong> <a href="https://www.eff.org/de/about/staff/cindy-cohn">Cindy Cohn<img src="/share/campaign/img/headshots/cindy-cohn.jpg" alt="Picture of Cindy Cohn" class="camp-headshot pull-right"></a>, Executive Director of the <a href="https://www.eff.org/">Electronic Frontier Foundation</a> (EFF), describes GnuPG as <i>"the way that I most often communicate with people who are in need around the world."</i> <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/sheerafrenkel"><img src="/share/campaign/img/headshots/sheera-frenkel.jpg" alt="Picture of Sheera Frenkel" class="camp-headshot pull-left">Sheera Frenkel</a>, Foreign Correspondent for BuzzFeed News, relates: <i>"<strong>As a news organization, we're trained on using GPG.</strong> "It's about your sources and what happens to them when you leave the country and you publish that explosive story and the government is looking for the whistleblower that handed you that key piece of information."</i> And famously, GnuPG was Edward Snowden's tool of choice to securely communicate with journalists about the NSA mass surveillance leaks. <p class="text-justify"> But, GnuPG is not only used to encrypt email. <strong>GnuPG protects software updates</strong> for nearly all free software operating systems, which power <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux#Market_share_and_uptake">two-thirds of all servers on the Internet</a>. And, GnuPG is widely used by organizations and companies. For instance, Arthur Jordan<img src="/share/campaign/img/headshots/arthur-jordan.jpg" alt="Picture of Arthur Jordan" class="camp-headshot pull-left">, Vice-President of Information Technology at 2U, told us: <i>"when we reached out to universities about how they wanted to do secure file transfer, they were already using GPG encryption."</i> <p class="text-justify"> Yet, despite the critical role that GnuPG plays for journalists, activists, and lawyers in particular as well as anyone who uses the Internet in general, in 2012 GnuPG had a <strong>funding crisis</strong>. Due to a lack of contracts, Werner Koch, GnuPG's lead developer, was forced to lay off the only other person working on GnuPG full-time. And, by 2014, Werner had to take side jobs unrelated to GnuPG to supplement his income. <p class="text-justify"> The situation looked so bad that <strong>Werner was ready to give up. But, friends convinced him to give a donation campaign one last shot.</strong> The response was amazing. Not only did he receive enough money to fund himself, but <strong>he pulled in 250 000 euros in small donations</strong>, and Stripe, Facebook and the Linux Foundation each committed to donating about 50 000 euros per year. </p> <div class="pull-right text-center team-img"> <a href="" ><img id="camp-openpgp-conf" src="" /></a> <p id="camp-caption-openpgp-conf"> The GnuPG Team at OpenPGP.conf 2016 </p> </div> <p class="text-justify"> <strong>Given this amazing response, Werner decided to grow the team again.</strong> To date, he has hired 5 developers, and the past two years have seen a number of improvements to GnuPG and the surrounding ecosystem. For instance, we've worked on <a href="https://www.gnupg.org/blog/20160830-web-key-service.html">simplifying key discovery</a>, adopted a set of <a href="https://gnupg.org/blog/20160921-python-bindings-for-gpgme.html">Python bindings for GPG</a>, contributed some improvements to <a href="https://www.enigmail.net/index.php/en/">Enigmail</a>, and supported <a href="https://www.fsij.org/category/gnuk.html">the Gnuk project</a>—a free source and free hardware security token. <p class="text-justify"> <strong>We want to continue this work in the long term.</strong> But, we want to do so in such a way that our first loyalty is unambiguously to the general public. This means making sure that a majority of our funding comes from individual donors, and not corporations. Further, to ensure long-term stability, our focus is on recurring donations and not one-time donations. <p class="text-justify"> <strong>Our primary goal is to get donation commitments for 15 000 euros per month—enough to fund 3 developers</strong>. We can reach this goal if just 2000 people donate 5 or 10 euros each month, the equivalent of just 2 or 3 cups of coffee. <p class="text-justify"> <div class="pull-right" style="width: 40%; margin: 1em"> <img src="/share/campaign/img/gnuk.jpg" id="camp-gnuk"> <p id="camp-caption-gnuk" class="text-center">The Gnuk Token</p> </div> This money will firstly allow us to continue our maintenance of GnuPG. We also intend to use it to fund our work on the Gnuk security token. And, one new project that it will support is a book called "An Advanced Introduction to GnuPG." A book for developers who want to integrate GnuPG into their programs, and need to understand the various concepts, the important security tradeoffs, and common pitfalls; for digital security trainers who need to understand GnuPG to be able to make sound recommendations to users; and, of course, for enthusiasts. <p class="text-justify"> <strong>Our stretch goal is to double this number of donations</strong>. If 4000 people donate just 5 or 10 euros each month, then we intend to grow the team, and dedicate them to helping other projects in the GnuPG ecosystem. One project that we really want to contribute to is <a href="https://gpgtools.org/">GPGTools</a>, which many activists and journalists rely on to secure their online communication. We want to make sure that GPG integration in Apple's mailer is supported as soon as a new version of macOS is released. <p class="text-justify"> Now, maybe you don't use GnuPG to encrypt your email. Nevertheless, some journalists whose work you value rely on GnuPG to protect their sources, some activists fighting for a cause that you sympathize with rely on GnuPG to protect their communication, and some lawyers speaking with their clients rely on GnuPG to help protect attorney-client conversations. And, free software-based operating systems use GnuPG to verify software updates. </p> <p class="text-justify" style="font-size: 22px;">So, if you are convinced as we are that this work is essential to protecting democracy and privacy, then <strong>please help us to continue our work and stay independent</strong>.</p> </div> </div> </div>
