- rythie 13y agoThough from the sounds of it, it doesn't work very well presumably because there is no outbound sales process - which is what this person is suggesting doing.

They got their logo there, and it seems like it'll stay there forever. They are a "Past Contributor", and they get what could be prime corporate advertising space to security engineers for free every year they don't contribute. I can't tell if they're a current contributor, or how much it would cost to put $MY_COMPANY logo there. And I don't know why I would care, because it appears OpenSSL doesn't seem to care about who is paying year-to-year. It says "Past or Current". That should just say "Current". Anyone who isn't a current contributor should get their name taken off. Also, where is Google? Apple? Microsoft? IBM? Oracle? Juniper? None of those names have logos up there. That should be fixed. Has anyone ever cold-called those companies and asked to talk to their sponsorship and corporate contributions groups?
