Michal Migurski 🍉@civicwhitaker @waldoj Esp. given this general picture of many load-bearing dependencies: “The real issue with a lot of small, foundational OSS libraries is just that there isn’t enough to do. They were written decades ago by a single person — and beyond bugfixes, they are not really supposed to change much. You don’t do major facelifts of zlib or giflib every year; even if you wave some cash around, it’s hard to build a sustainable community around watching paint dry.”

Waldo JaquithOpen source software is a critical part of our national security infrastructure, but one that government is entirely neglecting. Federal agencies rely on OpenSSL, liblzma, etc. just as much as the private sector.
We need a division of federal government whose job isn’t to find and exploit security holes (like the NSA), but fix them. A sort of a national security agency, but that actually does…that.
