OpenSSL Communities

Communities - General Discussion

This is a cross-community discussion for OpenSSL Projects. Please observe these guidelines:

  1. Remember that behind every username and every avatar is a real person. Treat each other with respect.

  2. When continuing a conversation from another location (such as a GitHub issue, pull request or discussion), cross-link in both directions so that readers may find the context.

  3. Polls in this group are generally less useful than votes in dedicated community groups or advisory groups since there are no restrictions on joining the General Discussion.

  4. People who fail to respect others or otherwise disrupt the group may be removed.

  5. The OpenSSL Mission and Values apply here.

For more background on the purpose of this group, see the General Discussion proposal.
