It seems that <https://letsencrypt.org> is a new CA that we could use to provide certificates for domains. Two of the advertised features seem interesting:
- automatic renewal
- free of charge
It is sponsored by Mozilla and the EFF (and others) so it seems legit. It seems too good to be true, so I wonder whether there is a catch.

I agree, it sounds very promising and have also considered using it for, e.g. the Jenkins build server. From the FAQs, it looks like November 16, 2015 is the official launch date, so it would be prudent to wait until at least then before switching over.
