Hello all and welcome to the new Foundation Advisory Committee space on the OpenSSL Communities platform. I'm leaving the previous two groups (Business Advisory (BAC), Technical Advisory (TAC)) open for now, but I will be archiving them at some point.

Our first official meeting will be at the OpenSSL Conference. The tentative plan is to meet at 5pm (GMT+2) on October 12. We'll try to set a call for people who can't make it in person. I'll send more details as the time comes closer.

Additionally, we have a panel scheduled for the conference. I'd like to get some volunteers to join me on stage. I will be inviting you all to a call next week to talk about the panel. That meeting will be entirely optional.

The next important step will be planning our meeting times. I will add a poll to this discussion with some suggested times. Timezones are always an issue, of course, but I'm sure we can make something work.

Dear FAC, I am looking forward to meeting you all in Prague. Unfortunately I will not arrive until 13 October so will miss the panel. I hope to meet during the two days I am there. All the best, Carla

@carlajedani the panel is on Thursday 15th, and it would be great to have you on stage for that if you're up for it!
The 12th is a F2F meeting (and if you are able to you could join remotely)!
In any case hopefully we will have plenty of chances in the other days of the conference for introductions and chatting!
