Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noël! Frohe Weihnachten!

Mit einem Zertifikat von CAcert hätte sich die Heilige Familie viel einfacher bei den Römern registrieren lassen können. Die beschwerliche Reise mit dem Esel wäre nicht nötig gewesen.

Gesegnete Weihnachten!


With a certificate from CAcert, it would have been much easier to register with the Romans to the Holy Family. The arduous journey with the donkey would not have been necessary.

Merry Christmas!


Avec un certificat de CAcert, la Sainte Famille serait en mesure de s’enregistrer auprès des Romains beaucoup plus facile. Le pénible voyage à dos d’âne n’aurait pas été nécessaire.

Joyeux Noël!

All-time record on new users per year

[German version below]

Since a few days ago CAcert has more new users registered in 2014 than for any of the years before. Currently we are at about 31625 users and counting beating the record established in 2006 with 31542 users for the whole year in just about 11 months. With a rate of about 100 new users every day we have a faster-growing user base than ever. Given this support by our members CAcert is by far not dead – instead it shows the still existing need for a open and free certificate authority operating for their users instead of profit.

 

[German version]

Seit den letzten Tagen hat CAcert mehr neue Benutzer, die sich 2014 angemeldet haben, als in irgendeinem Jahr zuvor. Mit derzeit 31625 neuen Nutzern wurde der 2006 aufgestellte Rekord mit 31542 neuen Nutzern für das gesamte Jahr bereits nach 11 Monaten eingestellt. Mit täglich ungefähr 100 neuen Usern reißt der Zustrom neuer Mitglieder nicht ab. Entgegen aller Unkenrufe ist CAcert bei weitem nicht aus der Welt; stattdessen zeigt es die Notwendigkeit für eine offene und freie Zertifizierungsstelle, die aus Überzeugung für ihre Nutzer agiert, statt nach Profit zu streben.
