OpenSSL announces new governance structure

Wed, 24 Jul 2024 15:58:37 +0000

Description:
OpenSSL has announced that it has adopted a new governance framework: The OpenSSL Management Committee (OMC) has been dissolved, and two
boards of directors have been elected for the Foundation and the Corporation
. Each
organization has ten voting members. These boards share all the responsibilities and authorities of the former OMC co-equally. To further engage our communities, we are establishing two advisory
committees for each entity: a Business Advisory Committee (BAC) and a
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The communities will elect the
members of the BACs and TACs, creating a direct channel for community
input in roadmap development and reflecting the diverse perspectives
of OpenSSL's communities. OpenSSL has also announced that two projects have adopted the OpenSSL Mission and become OpenSSL
projects : Bouncy Castle , which provides
cryptographic APIs for Java and C#, and the cryptlib security
software development toolkit. See the announcement for full details.
