OpenSSL would like to thank everyone who has provided feedback on our draft
mission & values statement.
The response has been great, and the feedback is really important to us. We are
working through those responses.
We’d like to get even more feedback so we are extending the response
period until 19th May 2023.
If you haven’t already provided feedback to us, please do so by:
As a small incentive we will be randomly selecting 10 responders out of
everyone who has provided feedback and the lucky ones will receive an OpenSSL
T-shirt. (Yes this includes those who have already responded to us).
Following the successful OpenSSL 2023 face-to-face conference, OpenSSL has produced a draft mission &
values statement. Once finalised, we intend to realign all activities of the
project to ensure they reflect our agreed mission and values. Before doing so
however, we would like to obtain feedback on this statement from the public, to
ensure it represents all of our communities. By offering us your feedback, you
will help us to ensure the OpenSSL project is run in a way that reflects the
values of all of our users.
Today I have had great pleasure in attending the Real World Crypto 2018
conference in Zürich in order to receive the
Levchin prize on behalf of the OpenSSL team.
The Levchin prize for Real World Cryptography recognises up to two groups or
individuals each year who have made significant advances in the practice of
cryptography and its use in real-world systems. This year one of the two
recipients is the OpenSSL team. The other recipient is
Hugo Krawczyk.
