OpenSSL announces new governance structure
OpenSSL has announced that it has adopted a new governance framework:
The OpenSSL Management Committee (OMC) has been dissolved, and two boards of directors have been elected for the Foundation and the Corporation. Each organization has ten voting members. These boards share all the responsibilities and authorities of the former OMC co-equally.
To further engage our communities, we are establishing two advisory committees for each entity: a Business Advisory Committee (BAC) and a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The communities will elect the members of the BACs and TACs, creating a direct channel for community input in roadmap development and reflecting the diverse perspectives of OpenSSL's communities.
OpenSSL has also announced that two projects have adopted the OpenSSL Mission and become OpenSSL projects: Bouncy Castle, which provides cryptographic APIs for Java and C#, and the cryptlib security software development toolkit. See the announcement for full details.

[$] Lessons from the death and rebirth of Thunderbird
Ryan Sipes told the audience during his keynote at GUADEC 2024 in Denver, Colorado that the Thunderbird mail client "probably shouldn't still be alive". Thunderbird, however, is not only alive—it is arguably in better shape than ever before. According to Sipes, the project's turnaround is a result of governance, storytelling, and learning to be comfortable asking users for money. He would also like it quite a bit if Linux distributions stopped turning off telemetry.

Let's Encrypt plans to drop support for OCSP.
Let's Encrypt has announced that it intends to end support "as soon as possible" for the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) over privacy concerns. OCSP was developed as a lighter-weight alternative to Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) that did not involve downloading the entire CRL in order to check whether a certificate was valid. Let's Encrypt will continue supporting OCSP as long as it is a requirement for Microsoft's Trusted Root Program, but hopes to discontinue it soon:
We plan to end support for OCSP primarily because it represents a considerable risk to privacy on the Internet. When someone visits a website using a browser or other software that checks for certificate revocation via OCSP, the Certificate Authority (CA) operating the OCSP responder immediately becomes aware of which website is being visited from that visitor's particular IP address. Even when a CA intentionally does not retain this information, as is the case with Let's Encrypt, CAs could be legally compelled to collect it. CRLs do not have this issue.People using Let's Encrypt as their CA should, for the most part, not need to change their setups. All modern browsers support CRLs, so end-users shouldn't notice an impact either.
