    <h1>The OpenXPKI Project</h1>
    <p>The OpenXPKI project has the vision to publish a software stack
    that provides all necessary components to manage keys and certificates
    primarily based on the X509v3 cryptography standard.</p>

    <h2>Project Status</h2>
    <p>We released the first stable version on the 10th anniversary of the
    project on October 20th. Packages for Debian Jessie are available on the
    package mirror, see the <a href="http://openxpki.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart.html">
    quickstart</a> for installation details.</p>

    <p>For a quick overview on the project, we recommend to check the 
    <a href="/2015/10/workshop-slides/">slides from the release workshop</a>
    or use <a href="http://demo.openxpki.org">our demo installation.</a></p>
