Hello Tianocore Community!

I知 a software developer working on a storage product that uses just a few EDK II / OpenSSL functions related to key derivation in support of self-encrypting drives.  We were recently made aware of the pending EOL of the current OpenSSL in EDK II and have a release of our product coming up soon so are trying to get some insight into the following patch https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/tree/OpenSSL11_EOL.

Both myself and several of my team members have a decent amount of open source experience but not with Tianocore and nothing with OpenSSL either.   So mostly what I知 looking for is some information on:


  *   Status/next steps on the patch above.  Who is driving, do they have a specific date range/goal for landing?
  *   Is anyone else out there a consumer of this and also in need of timely resolution, maybe we can brainstorm some thoughts?

I would *love* to be able to jump in and help with the patch but with our lack of experience here, I知 afraid we might just slow things down.  But, I知 open to any and all suggestions :)

Thanks!
Paul

PS: FYI I値l be attending the next community meeting as well so look forward to talking some more about it there as well.
