>From May 14–16, the **OpenSSL Corporation** hosted a face-to-face working
session in Brno, Czech Republic. The meeting was designed to bring together
participants from the **OpenSSL Projects** and convene in an in-person meeting
of the **Corporation’s Business Advisory Committee (BAC)**. The **OpenSSL
Foundation** was invited to join on Wednesday and Thursday in the broader
conversations with the OpenSSL Projects.

This was the first time these groups gathered in person in this configuration.
The sessions served as an opportunity to strengthen working relationships,
align on shared priorities, and focus on strategic coordination across the
ecosystem.
