Some comments on our expectations for this new module can be found at https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2017/07/25/fips/ -Steve M. -- Steve Marquess OpenSSL Software Foundation 20-22 Wenlock Road London N1 7GU United Kingdom +44 1785508015 +1 301 874 2571 direct marquess at opensslfoundation.org stevem at openssl.org From marquess at openssl.org Wed Aug 9 21:03:53 2017 From: marquess at openssl.org (Steve Marquess) Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2017 17:03:53 -0400 Subject: [openssl-announce] Another Smartisan Donation Message-ID: I am very pleased to note that OpenSSL has received another generous donation from Smartisan Technology (http://www.smartisan.com/). Smartisan has proven to be a unique donor in several respects; not only has Smartisan to date cumulatively donated more than any other single company, and the most individual donations, but on several occasions including this one those donations have arrived unannounced. It is a very pleasant surprise indeed to do a routine check of our bank accounts and find a much higher balance than expected. All of my comments from the previous Smartisan donation received just this past December still apply: https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-announce/2016-December/000088.html. We are grateful for the confidence and faith placed in us and will put these donations to good use. Once again thank you Smartisan, CEO Yonghao Luo, and Friends of Smartisan. -Steve M. -- Steve Marquess OpenSSL Software Foundation 20-22 Wenlock Road London N1 7GU United Kingdom +44 1785508015 +1 301 874 2571 direct marquess at opensslfoundation.org stevem at openssl.org
