[Olpc-sysadmin] Security certificate on dev.l.o expired

[Ed McNierney]

Chris -

Thanks for this report.  We do know about it and it is by no means  
"simple enough to correct".  It's a royal PITA to correct, and I have  
been working on it since the certificate expired in June.  It is  
certainly worth the (considerable) effort, and we do intend to get it  
fixed.

The short answer to the question, "Why isn't this trivial?" is that  
OLC is not the domain registrant for the laptop.org domain - we don't  
own it, and never have.  Getting an SSL certificate for a domain we  
don't own is exactly the sort of thing SSL certificate issuers try to  
prevent!
