Open Source Security Podcast

Josh talks to Michael Wisner about a talk he gave at FOSDEM as well as his work on Alpha Omega at the Linux Foudnation. Michael is approaching open source security in a way that nobody has ever tried before. What if we could fund some really big, really hard projects? It's not cheap or easy, but he's getting it done. We spend a lot of the time discussing package registries, which are a huge topic. Michael is doing some amazing work helping package registries which is the first step in a very long journey.
