Hello,

Reading https://www.openssl.org/policies/releasestrat.html, I noticed:

"Version 1.1.1 will be supported until 2023-09-11 (LTS)."

There's OpenSsl 3.0.5 now, I don't know if it can be considered stable 
enough and perhaps it could be interesting to use V1.1.1 until the last 
moment to give maximum time OpenSsl guys hardening 3.0 branch.

However I leafed through this link 
https://www.openssl.org/docs/man3.0/man7/migration_guide.html and it 
seems there are some changes to do to prepare the migration.

I suppose some LO code should be modified but there are also external 
libs/apps like Postgresql and Python to take into account and perhaps it 
could be the tricky part since we're autonomous here.

I don't pretend having a solution, great ideas or working on it, my goal 
here is just to be sure that people know about the end of v1.1.1 support 
; 1 year before the end date may be not much considering what has to be 
done.

Now perhaps someone is already working on it, if it's the case, sorry 
for having missed the info.

Julien
