Mark your calendars! ✏️ 📆 This year’s Upstream is Wednesday, June 5th! The theme? Unusual ideas to solve the usual problems. 🤔 Read about the theme and register for the free, fully virtual event now 👉 blog.tidelift.com/upstream-is-ju…
Last week, at @UpstreamOSS, we heard from a spectacular lineup of speakers 📢 Here's our review: bit.ly/3qwQWZB
This year's @UpstreamOSS broke records! Thank you so much to everyone who participated and attended 🤗 Missed us on June 7th? Don't worry, we prepared a summary just for you: bit.ly/3qCmtJk
Yesterday @tidelift had its biggest Upstream yet! #Upstream2023 included: - Trains 🚂 - Food analogies 👩🍳 - Community 🤗 - AI 🤖 - And of course, why #opensource is incredible ✨ bit.ly/43Q2hCo
“Let’s stop winging it, and instead create a more intentional supply chain, with intentional, thriving open source maintainers” @dff paraphrasing @luis_in_brief bit.ly/3oNTpOC #upstream2023
“If we want healthier, more secure open source software, we can’t think of it as a zero-sum equation anymore. We need to think about how everyone can win, both the creators and users of open source.” bit.ly/43roYwD #upstream2023
“There’s a reason why corporations employ people and pay them. Because that’s the best way to get work done. Getting paid should be considered normal, not out of the ordinary.” @dff quoting maintainer @GaryGregory bit.ly/3OWNDVH #upstream2023
“Lauren shared some highlights of the multi-year effort we’ve made at Tidelift to pay maintainers to validate they are following common software security practices. Paid maintainers achieved a better than 2x OSSF Scorecard score!” 🎉 bit.ly/3qyuorq #upstream2023
A few minutes ago, @juliaferraioli stated this very eloquently: Software is not just bits. It’s a complex, socio-technical system, and you can’t simply abstract the people out of it. bit.ly/3JmSKuP #upstream2023
The dream at @tidelift has always been to make open source work better—for everyone. So the goal of @UpstreamOSS is to get to know each other, both those who create open source, and those who use it. bit.ly/42sXlCn #upstream2023
“When we created Upstream two years ago, we had a pretty straightforward idea: that people should get to know better the upstream ingredients that make up their software applications.” - @dff bit.ly/43oL0jS #upstream2023
And now for the final talk of the day: @dff will share his findings from our journey #upstream2023 🌄 bit.ly/443wRbR
“When we're building technology, when we're commenting on issues or pull requests, or submitting our own, we need to consider all people as critical in, and to, the software supply chain.” - @juliaferraioli bit.ly/3ChgIUi #upstream2023
“The system that produces software is a complex socio-technical system. We have people in the mix that you can't separate out of the overall system—they're inextricably linked.” - @juliaferraioli bit.ly/3WUfLL1 #upstream2023
“We have components that interact in multiple ways following local rules with no unifying rule to define all the interactions, and the emergent system is greater than the sum of its parts.” - @juliaferraioli on the complexity of #OSS 🌐 bit.ly/43JR3iz #upstream2023
“We used to have a handful of commonly used complex, open source projects. Now we've got tons of them. And what's more, they're relying on each other—the complexity space has gotten way more complex.” - @juliaferraioli bit.ly/45Omr18 #upstream2023
“In talking to people about the software supply chain, they tend to use it as a shortcut to mean the piece of code, infrastructure, or system that I can blame when things go wrong.” - @juliaferraioli bit.ly/3oNVha3 #upstream2023
Next up at @UpstreamOSS: @juliaferraioli 🙌 Tune in to her keynote: How we treat others is a supply chain issue Live now 👉 bit.ly/3qtzmp8 #upstream2023
“When Log4Shell came in, the whole team stopped what they were doing and we dealt with that. I [was] on vacation that week. So vacation ‘bye-bye’ but that's my choice, right?” - @GaryGregory bit.ly/3CdhpxA #upstream2023
“The process of chain of custody is second nature to election administrators.” - @benadida ✔️ Paper ballots when they're printed and delivered ✔️ Blank paper ballots ✔️ Filled-in paper ballots after they're cast ✔️ Equipment that's used bit.ly/43sjods #upstream2023
