Face-to-Face 2024 Australia

Kajal Sapkota

The OpenSSL Project has returned from spending a week in February sequestered in the beautiful Australian outback discussing the past, current, and future state of the project. This in-person meeting brought together the project’s paid resources and the management committee. Our goal for this meeting was to chart the course for OpenSSL’s future, tackle current challenges, and note our collective achievements. Three project members were unable to participate in person and joined the meetings remotely.

Celebrating 25 Years of OpenSSL

Kajal Sapkota

We are pleased to announce that we have successfully distributed nearly 100 limited edition T-shirts commemorating the 25th anniversary of OpenSSL’s existence.

We appreciate the support of all our communities, users, individual contributors and support customers, without which we would not be able to continue our mission and deliver on our open source values. These continue to drive the success and evolution of OpenSSL, and we couldn’t be more appreciative.

Mission Statement

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.
