That's actually a really good point. Though sometimes words are of acknowledgement are equally important. Likely not here though. I'm sure they'd rather take the money ;-)

Side note: I'm actually so proud that my company, Datto, has also been sponsoring Let's Encrypt for many years, and that I was the one to suggest it. It's not platinum, but it's still $50k per year.

Well done Datto! Thanks for supporting the Internet.

yeah, words of encouragement can be great, but i don't think anybody at LetsEncrypt is in any doubt that Google is happy with the work they are doing.

also, i get the sense that getting wider adoption for FIDO outside of LetsEncrypt is a bit of a goal, so having a third-party announce support for FIDO without referring to it as "the LetsEncrypt protocol" is kind of a win for the FIDO people.

That’s not peanuts indeed. Well done, Datto!

Can you guys send an email to Atlassian?

Who is the ISRG and what does a platinum-level sponsorship mean?

Parent 501(c)(3) of Let's Encrypt, among other projects, and $300-350k per year donation.
