It's been quite a while since the last update. Not a lot happened around keys.openpgp.org during this time, operationally. 😴

But no news is good news in this case: A few bugs were fixed, some software maintenance was perfomed to keep up with the ecosystem. There were no significant outages, we've had some steady growth of users, things are generally working as expected. Hurray!

There is, however, an important bit of news: keys.openpgp.org has a governance process now. In particular, there is now a written constitution for the service, which you can find here.

Most importantly, there is now a board, who were elected by a community of contributors to the OpenPGP ecosystem. This board currently consists of:

• Daniel Huigens, from Proton
• Lukas Pitschl, from GPGTools
• Neal Walfield, from Sequoia-PGP
• Ola Bini
• Vincent Breitmoser

The primary responsibility of the board is to make decisions on the future of keys.openpgp.org . Which features should go in, which not? We are having regular meetings at the moment, and progress is slow but steady. We'll be sure to let you know (via this news blog) when anything exciting happens!

You can find more info about governance in the repository. You can also reach the board via email at board at keys.openpgp.org.

That's all for now! 🙇
