Statement
I have been the community maintainer for the NonStop port of OpenSSL since 1.0.2. My participation in Open Source goes back to the early 1990s, when I was involved in porting NFS, RPC, and other smaller components to the NonStop platform. I started in the industry in 1979.
My contribution for BAC of the Foundation or the Corporation is to provide perspectives and experience from exotic platforms to the OpenSSL team. I have served on the boards of directors of two companies (one as chair) and the Richmond Hill Board of Trade (director and chair). I also have extensive experience with Roberts New Rules of Order.
