Better, Faster, Stronger: How the Global Acceleration of OS Development Is Changing Developer Information Ecosystems for Good – Sal Kimmich, Sonatype
The last decade was coined a “pre-Cambrian explosion” for open source: ecosystem contribution models were still rapidly evolving to support a booming global community of developers both engaging in, and relying on, open source projects. As we move into a new era of globalized Open Source, we’re observing an exponential increase in the rate of OS project releases. A combination of tooling, automation and a growing generation open source developers all play a role in this acceleration. In this talk you’ll learn security-aware best practices for automating the decision in globalized Open Source projects, as well as the metrics and processes that help to ensure timely, focused decision making around technical roadmaps with stakeholders from around the world. Lastly, we’ll cover how new initiatives within the Open Source Security Foundation are taking an ecosystem approach to improving access to security readiness for every project’s security through education, automation, and SBoMs that can help you to measure, predict and avoid bleeding edge supply chain security attacks.
