Session Name: Better, Faster, Stronger: How Global Acceleration of OS Development is Changing Ecosystems for Good
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 Open Source, we’re observing an exponential increase in the rate of OS project releases. This is both a technical and cultural change: a combination of tooling, automation, and a growing awareness of the next generation cybersecurity in open source all play a role in this acceleration. As these globalized developer communities continue to build new and valuable features, automated analysis of best-choice versioning is essential to keeping pace with the open-source supply chain.
In this talk you’ll learn the best practices for automating the decision-making release versions for OS projects, and why a simple SBOM can help you to measure, predict and avoid bleeding edge supply chain security attacks.
