OpenSSL extends feedback on draft mission & values statement
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:
- Filling in this feedback form, or
- Emailing your feedback to feedback@openssl.org
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).
Once finalised, we intend to realign all activities of the project to ensure they reflect our agreed mission and values.
We look forward to your input.
The undersigned,
- Anton Arapov
- Matt Caswell
- Mark Cox
- Paul Dale
- Tamara Dale
- Tim Hudson
- Hugo Landau
