This is a great step forward to help advance the security of Open Source in the software supply chain-- essential to securing the digital ecosystem.
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. 🌍
