Thank you to everyone who registered and to those who went the extra mile to nominate candidates for the Technical Advisory Committees of the OpenSSL Corporation and OpenSSL Foundation.

At the OpenSSL Corporation, we are shaping the future of secure communication—and we are doing it from our growing base in Brno, Czech Republic. Our target is clear: to develop and maintain the OpenSSL Library, one of the most critical open-source tools for secure internet communication. From everyday gadgets to critical infrastructure, the OpenSSL Library protects billions of users worldwide. We believe everyone should have access to security and privacy tools, whoever they are, wherever they are or whatever their personal beliefs are, as a fundamental human right.

The OpenSSL Corporation (primarily focused on commercial communities) and the OpenSSL Foundation (primarily focused on non-commercial communities) are pleased to announce the formation of the Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) to provide expert guidance and strategic direction for our technical initiatives. This marks a significant milestone, and we need dedicated individuals to help shape their future.

The OpenSSL Corporation is pleased to announce that OpenSSL version 3.1.2 has achieved FIPS 140-3 validation, signifying its compliance with the rigorous cryptographic module security requirements set forth by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This accomplishment marks a significant milestone in reinforcing trusted, standards-based encryption for organizations operating in regulated environments, including government agencies, healthcare institutions, and financial services.

Understanding and effectively managing diverse personalities within an organization is crucial for fostering a harmonious and productive work environment. At the OpenSSL Corporation, we use Tick profiles—personality profiling tools designed to help individuals and teams gain insights into behavioral preferences enhancing collaboration and reducing workplace conflicts.

The election for the OpenSSL Corporation Board of Directors has now concluded. All eligible members have cast their votes, and it is confirmed that Tim Hudson has been reelected to the Board for a 3-year term.

At the OpenSSL Corporation, we understand the value of collaboration, and while remote work keeps us connected, nothing beats the energy of meeting in person. That’s why we gather for face-to-face (F2F) meetings three to four times a year, bringing together team members from across the globe.

The OpenSSL Corporation is announcing an election for its Board of Directors in February.
