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).
OpenSSL seeks feedback on draft mission & values statement

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.
