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.
