The State of the OpenSSL Community
I've given a similar talk in the first OpenSSL Conference, but there's always more data to be explored. Some things that I can already anticipate: - OpenSSL's AI policy including the impact of AI vulnerability reports - The OpenSSL Foundation's advisory committee reorganization - Update on issue backlog handling - Testing framework - Potentially initiatives around documentation
