Bonum Certa Men Certa

Celebrating 15 Years of a Perfect Record Protecting Our Sources

Summary: 15 years of Techrights driving change by advocacy and whistleblowing have certainly served the Free software community (those whom we exposed for wrongdoing understandably hate us, but that's a badge of honour); we intend to be around for another 15 years, even if the Web goes down the toilet (we have several viable contingencies already; the eggs are in many baskets) and we'll be making a lot more videos for the rest of this year and until further notice

THIS is the last (and seventh) video for this special Friday (Guy Fawkes Night; in this video the explosions outdoors are audible) and as our anniversary falls on a Sunday I'd like to extend my gratitude today, a weekday (I'll be working this coming weekend), to all our sources and whistleblowers. We've successfully protected all of them (100%). That's better than what's typically conceivable (even one burned source is extremely damaging to one's reputation).



"Next week we can hopefully resume the current EPO series until its completion."I've faced aggressive threats and took agonising, considerable personal risks to put out there the suppressed information we've received and our impact as a site (and online community, not just a Web site) only grows as time goes by. It makes some rich and powerful people very antsy. They'll keep trying to silence us or identify our sources. We can outwit them.

On Monday we'll publish Microsoft GitHub Exposé — Part V and our next major goal ("high-priority project") is putting GitHub in the coffin, just like CodePlex. CodePlex and GitHub can be buried alongside one another.

Next week we can hopefully resume the current EPO series until its completion.
