The Role of TACs
The Technical Advisory Committees provide advice on technical issues, challenges, and technical guidance to the OpenSSL Corporation and the OpenSSL Foundation. Consisting of representatives from the OpenSSL Communities – Academics, Committers, Distributions, Individuals, Large companies, and Small companies – TAC members represent the interests and perspectives of their respective communities. TACs play an important role in answering the “how” of technical decision-making: how features should be implemented, how technical priorities are set, and how to maintain quality and security across the project. This all ensures that decisions made reflect the diverse stakeholders involved in the library.
