Alexis Wales’ Post

Open source maintainers can already take advantage of GitHub's security features like Copilot Autofix and secret scanning for free. However, we know securing the software ecosystem is a team effort - and tooling alone is not the answer. GitHub continues to invest in additional programming, training, and infrastructure that empowers the open source community. Through GitHub's Secure Open Source Fund, we look to improve the sustainability and security of open source projects, leading to improved security outcomes for projects and enterprises alike.

COO @ GitHub | Operationalizing AI for every employee & enabling them to do their best work

Five years ago, with the launch of GitHub Sponsors, I took a small step by sponsoring Home Assistant – my very first contribution through Sponsors. And as it turns out, I wasn’t alone – and my contribution wasn’t too small to make a difference. Every investment matters when individuals, developers, and organizations come together around a shared opportunity. Now, with the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund, we’re embracing that same philosophy, starting with a single problem, combining our investments, and scaling solutions for the community. Securing open source is a journey that takes all of us – and we won’t stop finding ways to give maintainers the tools they need to succeed. This isn’t just a step forward for GitHub – it’s a giant leap toward a more secure, resilient open source ecosystem for us all. 🌍

The ecosystem must be healthy and #secure to prevent another 3rd-party or SolarWinds type #incident. A noble place to invest your time, Alexis Wales .
