I was surprised to learn of the blog posts, because I hadn't been following the blog; if I knew it existed at some point, I'd forgotten. But I'm following it now. It probably wouldn't hurt to post something to the lists when there's a blog post with news like this - items that subscribers would likely feel is important. Blog posts like the recent "OpenSSL in China" series probably don't need to be mentioned on the lists. But it's subjective, and I wouldn't want to create more work for anyone. -- Michael Wojcik Distinguished Engineer, Micro Focus -- openssl-users mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-users
