OpenSSL Communities

Communities - Distributions


The Distributions comprises maintainers of operating systems and significant software packages that integrate projects from the OpenSSL Foundation and the OpenSSL Corporation.

This community ensures that security and privacy tools are reliably packaged, tested, and delivered to end-users. Their contributions help keep security and privacy tools up-to-date, secure, and compatible with various platforms, ensuring widespread and consistent use across environments.

Each participating distribution is represented by a designated delegate, who holds voting authority on behalf of the distribution in elections and formal decision-making processes.

Delegates & advisory committee seats: every participating distribution is represented by one delegate — its voice and vote in the community. To change who represents your distribution, contact your community's BAC members (TAC as failover).

Two short guides:

How to nominate someone (or yourself) for a BAC or TAC seat: https://openssl-communities.org/d/Nmgwvfoc
