The Linux xz utils backdoor exploit, discussed in an interview at the Open Source Summit 2024 on The New Stack Makers with John Kjell, director of open source at TestifySec, highlights critical vulnerabilities in the open-source ecosystem. This exploit involved a maintainer of the Linux xz utils project adding malicious code to a new release, discovered by a Microsoft engineer. This breach demonstrates the high trust placed in maintainers and how this trust can be exploited. Kjell explains that the backdoor allowed remote code execution or unauthorized server access through SSH connections.The exploit reveals a significant flaw: the human element in open source. Maintainers, often under pressure from company executives to quickly address vulnerabilities and updates, can become targets for social engineering. Attackers built trust within the community by contributing to projects over time, eventually gaining maintainer status and inserting malicious code. This scenario underscores the economic pressures on open source, where maintainers work unpaid and face demands from large organizations, exposing the fragility of the open-source supply chain. Despite these challenges, the community's resilience is also evident in their rapid response to such threats.

In her keynote address at the Linux Foundation's Open Source Summit Europe, Fatima Sarah Khalid emphasized that being an ally is more than just superficial gestures like wearing pronouns on badges or correctly pronouncing coworkers' names. True allyship involves taking meaningful actions to support and uplift individuals from underrepresented or marginalized backgrounds. This support is essential, not only in obvious ways but also in everyday interactions, which collectively create a more inclusive community.Open source communities typically lack diversity, with only a small percentage of women, non-binary contributors, and individuals from underrepresented backgrounds. Khalid stressed the importance of improving diversity and inclusion through various means, including using inclusive language, facilitating asynchronous communication to accommodate global contributors, and welcoming non-technical contributions such as documentation.Khalid also provided insights on making open source events more inclusive, like welcoming newcomers and marginalized groups, providing quiet spaces and enforcing a code of conduct, and partnering newcomers with mentors. Moreover, she highlighted GitLab's unique approach to allyship within the organization, including the Ally Lab, which pairs employees from different backgrounds to learn about and understand each other's experiences.To encourage the audience to embrace allyship, Khalid shared a set of commitments to keep in mind, such as educating oneself about the experiences of marginalized groups, speaking up against inappropriate behavior, using one's voice to amplify marginalized voices, donating to support such groups, and advocating for equity and justice through social networks and connections. She also shared real-life examples of allyship, illustrating how meaningful actions can create positive change in communities.Khalid's discussion with host Jennifer Riggins emphasizes the significance of meaningful, everyday actions to promote allyship in open source communities and organizations, ultimately contributing to a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable tech industry.Learn more from The New Stack about Open Source, Allyship, and GitLab:Embracing Open Source for Greater Business ImpactLeadership and Inclusion in the Open Source CommunityHow Implicit Bias Impacts Open Source Diversity and InclusionInvesting in the Next Generation of Tech Talent

In a recent conversation at the Open Source Summit in Bilbao, Spain, Gabriel Colombo, the General Manager of the Linux Foundation Europe and the Executive Director of the Fintech Open Source Foundation, discussed the potential impact of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) on the open source community. The conversation shed light on the challenges and opportunities that the CRA presents to open source and how individuals and organizations can respond.The conversation began by addressing the Cyber Resilience Act and its significance. Gabriel Colombo explained that while the Act is being touted as a measure to bolster cybersecurity and national security, it could have unintended consequences for the open source ecosystem, particularly in Europe. The Act, currently in the legislative process, aims to address cybersecurity concerns but could inadvertently hinder open source development and collaboration.Jim Zemlin, the Executive Director of the Linux Foundation, had previously mentioned the importance of forks in open source development, emphasizing that they are a healthy aspect of the ecosystem. However, Colombo pointed out that the CRA could create a sense of unease, as it might deter people and companies from participating in open source projects or using open source software due to potential legal liabilities.To grasp the implications of the CRA, Colombo explained some of the key provisions. The initial drafts of the Act proposed potential liability for individual developers, open source foundations, and package managers. This raised concerns about the open source supply chain's potential vulnerability and the distribution of liability.As the Act evolves, the liability landscape has shifted somewhat. Individual developers may not be held liable unless they consistently receive donations from commercial companies. However, for open source foundations, especially those accepting recurring donations from commercial entities, there remains a concern about potential liabilities and the need to conform to the CRA's requirements.Colombo emphasized that this issue isn't limited to Europe. It could impact the entire global open source ecosystem and affect the ability of European developers and small to medium-sized businesses to participate effectively.The conversation highlighted the challenges open source communities face when engaging with policymakers. Open source is not structured like traditional corporations or industry consortiums, making it more challenging to present a unified front. Additionally, the legislative process can be slow and complex, which may not align with the rapid pace of technology development.The lack of proactive engagement from the European Commission and the absence of open source communities in the initial consultations on the Act are concerning. The understanding of open source, its nuances, and the role it plays in the broader software supply chain appears limited within policy-making circles.What Can Be Done?Gabriel Colombo stressed the importance of awareness and education. It is vital for individuals, businesses, and open source foundations to understand the implications of the CRA. The Linux Foundation and other organizations have launched campaigns to provide information and resources to help stakeholders comprehend the Act's potential impact.Being vocal and advocating for open source within your network, organization, and through public affairs channels can also make a difference. Engagement with policymakers, especially as the Act progresses through the legislative process, is crucial. Colombo encouraged businesses to emphasize the significance of open source in their operations and supply chains, making policymakers aware of how the CRA might affect their activities.In the face of the Cyber Resilience Act, the open source community must unite and actively engage with policymakers. It's essential to educate and raise awareness about the potential impact of the Act and advocate for a balanced approach that strengthens cybersecurity without stifling open source innovation.The Act's development is ongoing, and there is time for stakeholders to make their voices heard. With a united effort, the open source community can help shape the legislation to ensure that open source remains vibrant and resilient in the face of evolving cybersecurity challenges.Learn more from The New Stack about open source and Linux Foundation Europe:At Open Source Summit: Introducing Linux Foundation EuropeMaking Europe's 'Romantic' Open Source World More PracticalEmbracing Open Source for Greater Business Impact

[00:06:32] The conversation shifts to when an open source project fails or changes significantly within an organization. Dawn discusses the challenges and uncertainty companies face when an open source project becomes unusable due to license changes or discontinuation, Sophia highlights the complexities and burdens of change management when a project fails, and Gary mentions the negative impact on morale and the time-consuming nature of dealing with project failures. [00:10:55] Sophia discusses the challenges in communication between project leaders and end users, particularly when projects are consumed through third-party package managers. Gary highlights the challenge of getting project leaders and developers motivated to assess project viability and the need for data-driven metrics to facilitate communication between leadership and implementation teams. [00:13:09] Dawn stresses the importance of continuous assessments of open source project viability rather than treating it as a one-time task. [00:14:06] How do we assess if a project is good? Dawn discusses her historical approach to assessing open source projects, which included manual assessments. [00:16:31] Gary emphasizes the common practice of engineers making quick project choices without thorough assessments due to the ease of finding solutions online. [00:19:41] Sophia highlights the importance of considering how a project is used within the organization and the strategic implications of choosing open source projects, especially in large organizations. [00:21:50] Matt asks about monitoring and mitigating risks when using open source projects that may not be ideal from a viability perspective but are popular. Dawn acknowledges that project viability is not binary and can vary in terms of risk, suggesting that contributing to open source projects can mitigate risks. [00:22:56] Gary emphasizes the importance of becoming engaged and active members of open source communities to gain insight into project changes and mitigate potential risks. [00 24:15] Sophia highlights the role of metrics and monitoring in risk mitigation, mentioning that tracking certain information may not be easy but it is crucial. Dawn notes the lack of ongoing viability monitoring and suggests the need for more sophisticated approaches. [00:26:37] Gary agrees that monitoring is essential and mentions a metric called “lib year” to track the age of dependencies as an example of monitoring for open source projects, and he discusses the importance of automated recommendations within software scanning tools to help users make informed decisions about dependencies.

He leads The Discover Technology Academy, a community of 15,000 engineers, which he describes as a place where craftsmen come together rather than an ivory tower institution.Developers and engineers at Discover define and develop processes for software development. They start their journey by contributing atomic elements of knowledge, such as articles, blogs, videos, and tutorials, and then democratize that knowledge. Open source principles, communities, guilds, and established practices play a vital role in their work and discovery process.Discover's developer experience revolves around the concept of the golden path, which goes beyond consuming content and includes aspects like code, automation, and setting up development environments. Pair programming and a cultural approach to learning are also incorporated into Discover's talent system.Diaz highlights that Discover's work extends beyond their financial services company, as they share their knowledge and open source work with the external community through platforms like technology.discovered.com. This enables engineers to gain merit badges, such as maintainers or contributors, and showcase their expertise on professional platforms like LinkedIn.Learn more at thenewstack.ioThe Future of Developer CareersPlatform Engineer vs Software EngineerHow Donating Open Source Code Can Advance Your Career

Making Europe's ‘Romantic' Open Source World More Practical

DUBLIN — Europe's open source contributors, according to The Linux Foundation's first-ever survey of them released in September, are driven more by idealism than their American counterparts. The data showed that social reasons for contributing to open source projects were more often cited by Europeans than by Americans, who were more likely to say they participate in open source for professional advancement. A big part of Gabriele (Gab) Columbro's mission as the general manager of the new Linux Foundation Europe, will be to marry Europe's "romantic" view of open source to greater commercial opportunities, Columbro told The New Stack's Makers podcast. The On the Road episode of Makers, recorded in Dublin at Open Source Summit Europe, was hosted by Heather Joslyn, TNS's features editor. Columbro, a native of Italy who also heads FINOS, the fintech open source foundation. recalled his own roots as an individual contributor to the Apache project, and cited what he called "a very grassroots, passion, romantic aspect of open source" in Europe By contrast, he noted, "there is definitely a much stronger commercial ecosystem in the United States. But the reality is that those two, you know, natures of open source are not alternatives." Columbro said he sees advantages in both the idealistic and the practical aspects of open source, along with the notion in the European Union and other countries in the region that the Internet and the software that supports it have value as shared resources. "I'm really all about marrying sort of these three natures of open source: the individual-slash-romantic nature, the commercial dynamics, and the public sector sort of collective value," he said.A 'Springboard' for Regional ProjectsEurope sits thousands of miles away from the headquarters of the FAANG tech behemoths — Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google. (Columbro, in fact, is still based in Silicon Valley, though he says he plans to return to Europe at some point.) For individual developers, he said, Linux Foundation Europe will help give regional projects increased visibility and greater access to potential contributors. Contributing a project to Linux Foundation Europe, he said, is "a powerful way to potentially supercharge your project." He added, "I think any developer should consider this as a potential springboard platform for the technology, not just to be visible in Europe, but then hopefully, beyond." The European organization's first major project, the OpenWallet Foundation, will aim to help create a template for developers to build digital wallets. "I find it very aligned with not only the vision of the Linux Foundation that is about not only creating successful open source projects but defining new markets and new commercial ecosystems around these open source projects." It's also, Columbro added, "very much aligned with the sort of vision of Europe of creating a digital commons, based on open source whereby they can achieve a sort of digital independence."Europe's Turmoil Could Spark InnovationAs geopolitical and economic turmoil roils several nations in Europe, Columbro suggested that open source could see a boom if the region's companies start cutting costs. He places his hopes on open source collaboration to help reconcile some differences. "Certainly I do believe that open source has the potential to bring parties together, " Columbro said. Also, he noted, "generally we see open source and investment in open source to be counter-cyclical with the trends of investments in proprietary software. ... in other words, when there is more pressure, and when there is more pressure to reduce costs, or to, you know, reduce the workforce. "That's when people are forced to look more seriously about ways to actually collaborate while still maintaining throughput and efficiency. And I think open source is the prime way to do so.

The AWS Open Source Strategy

Amazon Web Services would not be what it is today without open source. "I think it starts with sustainability," said David Nalley, head of open source and marketing at AWS in an interview at the Open Source Summit in Dublin for The New Stack Makers. "And this really goes back to the origin of Amazon Web Services. AWS would not be what it is today without open source." Long-term support for open source is one of three pillars of the organization's open source strategy. AWS builds and innovates on top of open source and will maintain that approach for its innovation, customers, and the larger digital economy. "And that means that there's a long history of us benefiting from open source and investing in open source," Nalley said. "But ultimately, we're here for the long haul. We're going to continue making investments. We're going to increase our investments in open source." Customers' interest in open source is the second pillar of the AWS open source strategy. "We feel like we have to make investments on behalf of our customers," Nally said. "But the reality is our customers are choosing open source to run their workloads on." [sponsor_note slug="amazon-web-services-aws" ][/sponsor_note] The third pillar focuses on advocating for open source in the larger digital economy. Notable is how much AWS's presence in the market played a part in Paul Vixie's decision to join the company. Vixie, an Internet pioneer, is now vice president of security and an AWS distinguished engineer who was also interviewed for the New Stack Makers podcast at the Open Source Summit. Nalley has his recognizable importance in the community. Nalley is the president of the Apache Software Foundation, one of the world's most essential open source foundations. The importance of its three-pillar strategy shows in many of the projects that AWS supports. AWS recently donated $10 million to the Open Source Software Supply Chain Foundation, part of the Linux Foundation. AWS is a significant supporter of the Rust Foundation, which supports the Rust programming language and ecosystem. It puts a particular focus on maintainers that govern the project. Last month, Facebook unveiled the PyTorch Foundation that the Linux Foundation will manage. AWS is on the governing board.

Paul Vixie grew up in San Francisco. He dropped out of high school in 1980. He worked on the first Internet gateways at DEC and, from there, started the Internet Software Consortium (ISC), establishing Internet protocols, particularly the Domain Name System (DNS). Today, Vixie is one of the few dozen in the technology world with the title "distinguished engineer," working at Amazon Web Services as vice president of security, where he believes he can make the Internet a more safe place. As safe as before the Internet emerged. "I am worried about how much less safe we all are in the Internet era than we were before," Vixie said in an interview at the Open Source Summit in Dublin earlier this month for The New Stack Makers podcast. "And everything is connected, and very little is understood. And so, my mission for the last 20 years has been to restore human safety to pre-internet levels. And doing that at scale is quite the challenge. It'll take me a lifetime." So why join AWS? He spent decades establishing the ISC. He started a company called Farsight, which came out of ISC. He sold Farsight in November of last year when conversations began with AWS. Vixie thought about his mission to better restore human safety to pre-internet levels when AWS asked a question that changed the conversation and led him to his new role. "They asked me, what is now in retrospect, an obvious question, 'AWS hosts, probably the largest share of the digital economy that you're trying to protect," Vixie said. "Don't you think you can complete your mission by working to help secure AWS?' "The answer is yes. In fact, I feel like I'm going to get more traction now that I can focus on strategy and technology and not also operate a company on the side. And so it was a very good win for me, and I hope for them." Interviewing Vixie is such an honor. It's people like Paul who made so much possible for anyone who uses the Internet. Just think of that for a minute -- anyone who uses the Internet have people like Paul to thank. Thanks Paul -- you are a hero to many. Here's to your next run at AWS.

How Can Open Source Sustain Itself Without Creating Burnout?

The whole world uses open source, but as we've learned from the Log4j debacle, “free” software isn't really free. Organizations and their customers pay for it when projects aren't frequently updated and maintained. How can we support open source project maintainers — and how can we decide which projects are worth the time and effort to maintain? “A lot of people pick up open source projects, and use them in their products and in their companies without really thinking about whether or not that project is likely to be successful over the long term,” Dawn Foster, director of open source community strategy at VMware's open source program office (OSPO), told The New Stack's audience during this On the Road edition of The New Stack's Makers podcast. In this conversation recorded at Open Source Summit Europe in Dublin, Ireland, Foster elaborated on the human cost of keeping open source software maintained, improved and secure — and how such projects can be sustained over the long term. The conversation, sponsored by Amazon Web Services, was hosted by Heather Joslyn, features editor at The New Stack. Assessing Project Health: the ‘Lottery Factor' One of the first ways to evaluate the health of an open source project, Foster said, is the “lottery factor”: “It's basically if one of your key maintainers for a project won the lottery, retired on a beach tomorrow, could the project continue to be successful?” “And if you have enough maintainers and you have the work spread out over enough people, then yes. But if you're a single maintainer project and that maintainer retires, there might not be anybody left to pick it up.” Foster is on the governing board for an project called Community Health Analytics Open Source Software — CHAOSS, to its friends — that aims to provide some reliable metrics to judge the health of an open source initiative. The metrics CHAOSS is developing, she said, “help you understand where your project is healthy and where it isn't, so that you can decide what changes you need to make within your project to make it better.” CHAOSS uses tooling like Augur and GrimoireLab to help get notifications and analytics on project health. And it's friendly to newcomers, Foster said. “We spend...a lot of time just defining metrics, which means working in a Google Doc and thinking about all of the different ways you might possibly measure something — something like, are you getting a diverse set of contributors into your project from different organizations, for example.” Paying Maintainers, Onboarding Newbies It's important to pay open source maintainers in order to help sustain projects, she said. “The people that are being paid to do it are going to have a lot more time to devote to these open source projects. So they're going to tend to be a little bit more reliable just because they're they're going to have a certain amount of time that's devoted to contributing to these projects.” Not only does paying people help keep vital projects going, but it also helps increase the diversity of contributors, “because you by paying people salaries to do this work in open source, you get people who wouldn't naturally have time to do that. “So in a lot of cases, this is women who have extra childcare responsibilities. This is people from underrepresented backgrounds who have other commitments outside of work,” Foster said. “But by allowing them to do that within their work time, you not only get healthier, longer sustaining open source projects, you get more diverse contributions.” The community can also help bring in new contributors by providing solid documentation and easy onboarding for newcomers, she said. “If people don't know how to build your software, or how to get a development environment up and running, they're not going to be able to contribute to the project.” And showing people how to contribute properly can help alleviate the issue of burnout for project maintainers, Foster said: “Any random person can file issues and bug maintainers all day, in ways that are not productive. And, you know, we end up with maintainer burnout...because we just don't have enough maintainers," said Foster. “Getting new people into these projects and participating in ways that are eventually reducing the load on these horribly overworked maintainers is a good thing.” Listen or watch this episode to learn more about maintaining open source sustainability.

What Does Kubernetes Cost You?

In this episode of The New Stack's On the Road show at Open Source Summit in Austin, Webb Brown, CEO and co-founder of KubeCost, talked with The New Stack about opening up the black box on how much Kubernetes is really costing. Whether we're talking about cloud costs in general or the costs specifically associated with Kubernetes, the problem teams complain about is lack of visibility. This is a cliche complaint about AWS, but it gets even more complicated once Kubernetes enters the picture. “Now everything's distributed, everything's shared,” Brown said. “It becomes much harder to understand and break down these costs. And things just tend to be way more dynamic.” The ability of pods to spin up and down is a key advantage of Kubernetes and brings resilience, but it also makes it harder to understand how much it costs to run a specific feature. And costs aren't just about money, either. Even with unlimited money, looking at cost information can provide important information about performance issues, reliability or availability. “Our founding team was at Google working on infrastructure monitoring, we view costs as a really important part of this equation, but only one part of the equation, which is you're really looking at the relationship between performance and cost,” Brown said. “Even with unlimited budged, you would still care about resourcing and configuration, because it can really impact reliability and availability of your services.”

In this episode of The New Stack's On the Road show at Open Source Summit in Austin, Amanda Brock, CEO and founder of OpenUK, talked with The New Stack about revenue models for open source and how those fit into building a sustainable project.Funding an open source project has to be part of the sustainability question — open source requires humans to contribute, and those humans have bills to pay and risk burnout if the open source project is a side gig after their full time job. That's not the only expenses a project might accrue, either — there might be cloud costs, for example. Brock says there are essentially eight categories of funding models for open source, of which really two or three have been proven successful. They are support, subscription and open core.So how do we define open core, exactly? “You get different kinds of open core businesses, one that is driven very much by the needs of the company, and one that is driven by the needs of the open source project and community,” Brock said. In other words, sometimes the project exists to drive revenue, sometime the revenue exists to support the project — a subtle distinction, but it's easy to see how one or the other orientation could change a company's relationship with open source.Are both types really open source? For Brock, it all comes down to community. “It's the companies that have proper community that are really open source to me,” she said. “That's where you've got a proper project with a real community, the community is not entirely based off of your employees.”

In this episode of The New Stack's On the Road show at Open Source Summit in Austin, Julia Ferraioli, open source technical leader at Cisco's open source programs office, spoke with The New Stack about some alternative ways to define what is and is not ‘open source.' When someone says, well, that's ‘technically' open source, it's usually to be snarky about a project that meets the legal criteria to be open source, but doesn't follow the spirit of open source. Ferraioli doesn't think that the ‘classic' open source project, like a Kubernetes or Linux, are the only valid models for open source. She gives the sample of a research project — the code might be open sourced specifically so that others can see the code and reproduce the results themselves. However, for the research to remain valid, they it can't accept any contributions.“It's no less open source than others,” Ferraioli said about the hypothetical research project. “If you break things down by purpose, it's not always that you're trying to build the robust community.” The social model of open source, Ferraioli says, is about understanding the different use cases for open source, as well as providing a framework for determining what appropriate success metrics could be depending on what the project's motivations are. And if you're just doing a project with friends for laughs, well, quantifying fun isn't going to be easy.

In this episode of The New Stack's On the Road show at Open Source Summit in Austin, Matt Yonkovit, Head of Open Source at Percona, shared his thoughts on how economic uncertainty could affect the open source ecosystem. Open source, of course, is free. So what role does the economic play in whether or not open source software is contributed to, downloaded and used in production? “Generally, open source is considered a bit recession proof,” Yonkovit said. But that doesn't mean that things won't change. Over the past several years, the number of open source companies has increased dramatically, and the amount of funding sloshing around in the ecosystem has been huge. That might change. And if the funding situation does change? “I think the big differentiator for a lot of people in the open source space is going to be the communities,” Yonkovit said. When we talk about having ‘backing,' it's usually in reference to financial investors, but in open source the backing of a community is just as important. In the absence of deep pockets, a community of people who believe in the project can help it survive — and show that the idea is really solid. If you look back at the history of open source, Yonkovit said, it's about people having an idea that inspires other people to contribute to make it a reality. Sometimes those ideas aren't commercially viable, even in the best of times — even if they do get widespread adoption. The only thing that's changing now is that financial investors are going to be a bit more picky in making sure the projects they fund aren't just inspirational ideas, but also are commercially viable.

La prochaine version du noyau Linux sera t-elle rouillée ?

Bonjour à tous et bienvenue dans le ZDTech, le podcast quotidien de la rédaction de ZDNet. Je m'appelle Guillaume Serries, et aujourd'hui je vous explique pourquoi le langage de programmation Rust, rouille en anglais, pourrait rapidement intégrer le noyau du système d'exploitation Linux. Linus Torvalds, le créateur de Linux, aimerait voir le langage de programmation Rust intégré au noyau du système d'exploitation lors de la prochaine version majeure. Mais ce n'est pas tout à fait gagné. Car cet atterrissage du langage de programmation Rust sur Linux serait tout bonnement révolutionnaire. Depuis plus de trois décennies, Linux est écrit à l'aide du langage de programmation C. Linux est même certainement la réalisation logicielle la plus remarquable écrite en langage C. Mais ces dernières années, de plus en plus de développeurs utilisent le langage de développement Rust pour faire évoluer Linux. Au point que Rust est désormais le deuxième langage de Linux. "J'aimerais que la fusion avec Rust soit lancée dans la prochaine version, mais nous verrons" a confié a ZDNet le père de Linux à l'occasion du tout récent Open Source Summit qui vient de se tenir à Austin, au Texas. Il faut dire que le calendrier est serré. Linus Torvalds et les autres mainteneurs du noyau Linux sont actuellement en train de travailler sur la version Linux 5.19, qui doit être mise à disposition des utilisateurs au début du mois d'août. Et le délai moyen entre les nouvelles versions du noyau principal est de 9 à 10 semaines. Donc Rust pourrait être intégré au noyau dans sa version 5.20, qui devrait arriver fin octobre ou début novembre 2022. Alors à ce moment du podcast vous vous dites, "ok, mais pourquoi est-il si important de passer de C à Rust ?" Et bien le langage de programmation Rust, proposé par Mozilla depuis 2010, se prête plus facilement à l'écriture de logiciels sécurisés. Et par ailleurs, ses performances sont comparables à celles de C en ce qui concerne la vitesse d'exécution. Pour Samartha Chandrashekar, chef de produit AWS, Rust "permet d'assurer la sécurité des threads et d'éviter les erreurs liées à la mémoire, comme les débordements de tampon qui peuvent conduire à des failles de sécurité." Et cet avis semble partagé par un nombre important de développeurs, dont Linus Torvalds. Mais ce qui est clair d'ors et déjà, c'est que personne ne va réécrire la totalité des quelques 30 millions de lignes du noyau Linux en Rust. Seules les évolutions du noyau sont concernées par cette évolution de langage de programmation. Et ces évolutions sont l'utilisation des API existantes dans le noyau, le support de l'architecture et la compatibilité de l'interface binaire d'application entre Rust et C. Donc, si tout se passe bien, vous pouvez vous attendre à voir du Rust dans le noyau Linux avant la fin de l'année. Ensuite, il commencera à apparaître dans les principales distributions Linux telles que Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server et Red Hat Enterprise Linux, d'ici 2023.

Inside a $150 Million Plan for Open Source Software Security

The Untold Stories of Open Source

AUSTIN, TEX. —Everyone uses open source software — and it's become increasingly apparent that not nearly enough attention has been paid to the security of that software. In a survey released by The Linux Foundation and Synk at the foundation's Open Source Summit in Austin, Tex., this month, 41% of organizations said they aren't confident in the security of the open source software they use. At the Austin event, The New Stack's Makers podcast sat down with Brian Behlendorf, general manager of Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF), to talk about a new plan to attack the problem from multiple angles. He was interviewed for this On the Road edition of Makers by Heather Joslyn, features editor at The New Stack. Behlendorf, who has led OpenSSF since October and serves on the boards of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Mozilla Foundation, cited the discovery of the Log4j vulnerabilities late in 2021, and other recent security “earthquakes” as a key turning points.“I think the software industry this year really woke up to not only the fact these earthquakes were happening,” he said, “and how it's getting more and more expensive to recover from them.” The Open Source Security Mobilization Plan sprung from an open source security summit in May. It identifies 10 areas that will be targeted for attention, according to the report published by OpenSSF and the Linux Foundation: Security education.Risk assessment.Digital signatures, such as though the open source Sigstore project.Memory safety.Incident response.Better scanning.Code audits.Data sharing.Improved software supply chains.Software bills of material (SBOMs) everywhere. The price tag for these initiatives over the initial two years is expected to total $150 million, Behlendorf told our Makers audience. The plan was sparked by queries from the White House about the various initiatives underway to improve open source software security — what they would cost, and the time frame the solution-builders had in mind. “We couldn't really answer that without being able to say, well, what would it take if we were to invest?” Behlendorf said. “Because most of the time we sit there, we wait for folks to show up and hope for the best.” The ultimate price tag, he said, was much lower than he expected it would be. Various member organizations within OpenSSF, he said, have pledged funding. “The 150 was really an estimate. And these plans are still being refined,” Behlendorf said. But by stating specific steps and their costs, he feels confident that interested parties will feel confident when it comes time to make good on those pledges. Listen to the podcast to get more details about the Open Source Security Mobilization Plan.

The first time Patrick Debois came into contact with Open Source was in the early stages of development of the Linux kernel, compiling it on floppies on his 486 machine. To tell you how long ago that was, the Intel 486 was introduced in 1989, It was the first chip in the line to include a built-in math coprocessor. Patrick was an early adopter of computers, but one thing he missed was a community. In those days he had to copy software over electronic bulletin board systems.

Brian Behlendorf came from a science and technology background. In fact, his parents met at IBM where his father was a Cobol programmer. During the 1980s, Brian was comfortable in front of a TRS 80 and a PC junior doing basic programming and term reports. He quickly found his way onto Usenet and participation on mailing lists around the band REM or the record label 4AD. This eventually turned into a dedicated mailing list focused on the rave scene in San Francisco. Through setting up the mailing list, he stood up an FTP server with DJ sets, which eventually became a gopher server, which eventually became a a web server that was dedicated to electronic music and the electronic music scene in the Bay Area. This was a time when you would only hear electronic music at certain events and not on the radio. Brian continued to go to school at UC Berkeley occasionally, but in January 1993, something else caught his attention. The first issue of https://www.wired.com/ (Wired Magazine) was published. From the Linux Foundation offices in New York City, this is The Untold Stories of Open Source. Each week in our podcast project on GitHub, we uncover the history and people behind the open source projects that are the foundation of technological innovation.

There are common perceptions that organizations have about open source — but these perceptions also vary a lot. This is especially the case when it comes to describing what organizations' role in open source development should be, as well as the best way to take advantage of this ongoing explosion in open source tools and their availability. (Call it a renaissance, if you will). What open source means — and what it should mean — is a main topic of this episode of this The New Stack Makers podcast, recorded during the Open Source Summit in San Diego, with the recently released results of the survey the second annual survey “Open Source Programs in the Enterprise.” Dirk Hohndel, vice president, chief open source officer, VMware, discussed his take on the results and what they meant for VMware, which co-sponsored the survey in partnership with The Linux Foundation's TODO Group. The survey results also served to quantify many of the operations Hohndel has made during his work with the open source community. Given that enterprises increasingly describe themselves as software companies, a key consideration is to determine how software's role specific to your organization. Or more specifically, Hohndel said, most businesses view software as "key to what they do."

This week, we catch up with The New Stack founder and Publisher Alex Williams to learn about his trip to Shanghai, China, to attend the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + Open Source Summit China 2019. In this chat, we discussed the ongoing trade issues between China and the U.S., and how they effect Asian companies such as Huawei, and well as efforts of the Linux Foundation to unify the efforts to build an open source community that spans the globe. We also discuss two keynote talks that were given, by Linux founder Linus Torvalds, and the chief maintainer of the older Linux kernels Greg Kroah-Hartman, about open source communities and the need for better vulnerability management, respectively. Then later, in the show, we discuss with TNS Managing Editor Joab Jackson a conference that he attended last week, Redis Day New York. There the company unveiled its new timeseries database configuration, as well as some exciting new benchmarks, showing the database as capable of executing 200 million operations per second.

How to Build Open Source Sustainability

TFIR: Open Source & Emerging Technologies

What takes an open source project from a hobby to international codebase that the world's top companies rely on? How do you balance the wishes of the individual, creative contributor with that of corporate-backed finance and governance? How do you make the open source community a welcoming one? Open source sustainability and all these questions were on the table when The New Stack Editor in Chief Alex Williams sat down at our first Makers broadcast from Shanghai, China, at the Open Source Summit. For senior staff engineer at VMWare, Bryan Liles, this sustainability is all about the intersection of different open source projects within broader ecosystems that have a strong balance of governance and motivated community. Dan Kohn, executive director of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), says open source sustainability relies on commitment to continue building, supporting and stabilizing core infrastructure and critical libraries for important upstream dependencies. He says the whole purpose of CNCF is that, when organizations recognize there's open source infrastructure that matters, there is a way to build a community that can financially and publicly support it moving forward.
