It appears that the security certificate for wikimedia.org.uk expired yesterday. Is someone from the chapter looking into this? Thanks, Peter

I seem to remember the same problem occurring last year... we really need to get better at managing this. If I remember correctly, last year was an issue of getting the right paperwork to the right people on time? -- Lewis Cawte On 2 September 2015 at 20:20, Peter Coombe <thewub.wiki(a)googlemail.com> wrote:

Hello Peter, Lewis, all, Thanks for highlighting this. I know that Richard S from the office is dealing with this and we're hopeful the issue will be resolved very soon. We're sorry for the inconvenience but are looking at ensuring this doesn't happen again. Thank you, Stevie On 2 September 2015 at 20:28, Lewis Cawte <lewiscawte(a)googlemail.com> wrote:

Hey Chaps, Yes I noticed this earlier and made Richard S aware. I believe the source of the problem is a genuine mixup with our supplier giving us the old certificate (and advertising it as new) and me installing just before I was due to go on holiday (which I've only just returned from). Which meant we've only just identified the problem. It should be a quick-ish fix :) Tom On Wed, 2 Sep 2015 at 21:28 Stevie Benton <stevie.benton(a)wikimedia.org.uk> wrote:
