Nominee: James Bourne
Statement
As founder of FireDaemon, I've integrated OpenSSL into commercial security products for at least 15 years. I'll advocate for clear release roadmaps, simplified governance, and practical guidance that helps small businesses navigate cryptographic transitions and deploy OpenSSL confidently despite resource constraints.
