Do we need a maintainers' club

DB Dmitry Belyavsky Public Seen by 22

Dear colleagues,

I wonder how we can create a sub-community and establish some cooperation and representation beyond the voting procedure.

The only thing that comes to my mind is some sort of OpenSSL maintainers' club. Is it useful, should we also invite other communities (Large/Small business?) having their OpenSSL versions modifying upstream version, etc?

Hi Dima,

This community should serve exactly this purpose and my goal is to make it more alive. So this is an excellent idea and I started pinging people to join.

As for other communities - yes, let's keep it open as in the end, it's again another form of distribution of OpenSSL and many challenges and opportunities may be similar.
