Confidential. Sensitive. Security-critical.

What do these words mean in practice for open source today? That only the most resource-constrained actors in the system can do the work. These forces are in direct contradiction to what makes open source powerful: that the people most interested in the improvements are the ones that can do the work.

So why don’t we?

In this talk, we’ll challenge this thinking around open source security work and attendees will leave with new tools on how to make their contributions into open source security guidance, platforms, and tooling scale by inviting others to the table, turning expertise into results, and improving the security of the open source ecosystem in a way maintainers will love rather than dread.
