Community members from multiple projects, foundations and organizations find themselves working on the same problems and are attacking the issues from different angles. The cool thing is the community wants to solve the problem. The harsh reality is these groups often find themselves working in silos based on the working group, SIG or foundation they joined. This creates a whole new problem: how do we share findings, reference architectures, resources across the board? This talk will focus on CNCF, CDF and OpenSFF and will demonstrate how cross community collaboration can strengthen both communities and foundations by bridging the gap in knowledge, practice and standards. The result may help create solutions that are well thought out from multiple vantage points that benefit developers across the board whether they are focused on cloud native, continuous delivery or software supply chain security.

This talk covers three Linux Foundations: CNCF, CDF, and OpenSFF and discusses working in silos and the potential opportunities to increase knowledge base and creativity to solve pain points when communication is open and brain trust is shared.
