Mark and Julien recently represented Bootstrap in the second round of the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund this past June. The program is designed to programmatically and financially improve the security and sustainability of open source projects, and we were honored to be a part of it.
GitHub brought together open source maintainers, security experts, and ecosystem partners for an intensive, hands-on learning experience. Throughout three weeks, we had a few days of mixed expert-led presentations, collaborative workshops, and dedicated office hours with security specialists. Between sessions, we had homework: concrete, project-specific actions to immediately strengthen our codebase, workflows, and processes.
