OpenSSL Communities

Communities

The “Communities” group refers to the full range of stakeholders contributing to OpenSSL, including academic researchers, project committers, distribution maintainers, individual contributors, and both large and small businesses. These constituencies collaboratively influence the direction, implementation, and adoption of projects managed by the OpenSSL Foundation and the OpenSSL Corporation.

Each community draws on its domain expertise to support the OpenSSL Mission: "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."

Governance models, expectations, and interaction rules within each community are designed to evolve organically over time. Adjustments are guided by ongoing collaboration and the distinct priorities of each group.
