Ping! Individuals

AK Aditya Koranga Public Seen by 84

Hi Individuals Group!

I hope you're all doing well. First of all, thank you for electing me as your TAC representative for Individuals at OpenSSL Corporation. I'm here to be your voice to the Technical Advisory Committee, and together we can make sure our needs are heard loud and clear!

Here's the thing: Our voice needs to be louder than the other groups, and we can achieve this with just 5 minutes of your time (out of the 40 million minutes in your life :) by filling out this survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSevXpPP7ZDB3oKRfLpo9HgBGsgwxN83dKiX93jZOUZbz7mVJQ/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=109366957358427869908

I know, I know - surveys are boring. But I promise that next time we'll come up with something more creative and engaging way for gathering your input!

Why this matters: Your responses will be presented directly at the next TAC meeting, so this is your chance to influence OpenSSL's direction. The more feedback, suggestions, and ideas you provide, the stronger our collective voice becomes.

P.S. I haven't figured out how to make surveys anonymous in Loomio yet, so we're going with Google Forms this time. Your input is still valuable regardless of the platform!

@Gayatri Everyone can read BAC and TAC group discussions and view active polls. Seats on these advisory committees are filled through elections. Before each election, you may nominate yourself, and communities will vote to elect their representatives. For more details, see the links below:

@Gayatri Regarding polls and decision-making mechanics, Loomio provides more than enough functionality to run surveys and facilitate group decisions effectively. See links below:

@Gayatri  We have created multiple polls regarding several topics like election, pqc related poll, distributions, etc. Let me know if you want to create a poll regarding your specific needs (or you can also create a poll on your own). I think as of now we are relying completely on loomio for poll related things and no such integration afaik.

Thanks
