Fund Werner Koch - Creator of GnuPG

Donation protected
The man who built the free email encryption software used by whistleblower Edward Snowden, as well as hundreds of thousands of journalists, dissidents and security-minded people around the world, is running out of money to keep his project alive.

You can donate directly to his website https://gnupg.org/donate/index.html

I have set up this GoFundMe campaign because nobody else has, apparently.

All funds raised here will go to Werner and the GnuPG project.



Some information about myself and this campaign:
My name is Dietwald Claus, and I live and work in the National Capital Region of Canada. I have no direct relationship to Werner. However, when I read the ProPublica article about the importance of his work, and that he is struggling for money, the only link for donations I could find was on the gnupg.org website. A number of people in social media asked about a "Go Fund Me" or Kickstarter campaign, and since there didn't seem to be one, I decided to set one up. However, you don't have to donate to this campaign, but can instead go to the gnupg.org site directly. It seems that a lot of money has been raised alread, so this my be superfluous. However, I'll keep it up, because I like the campaign name.
Any funds I collect will be transferred to the GnuPG project directly. I will keep nothing. It's just because I think it's important to help GnuPG to stay alive.
