Open Source Cyber Security: Co-Creating Our Futures

This panel will explore the evolving relationship between open source, cybersecurity, and governance during #MaintainerMonth with GitHub. We are working to bring together voices from the open-source community, startup space, and the public sector.

In alignment with Maintainer Month, the goal is to spark dialogue around collective responsibility, innovation, and sustainability.

Foster Cross-Sector Dialogue on Collective Responsibility Bring together diverse voices from open source, cybersecurity, startups, and public governance to examine our shared roles in creating secure, resilient, and inclusive digital ecosystems.

Highlight Innovation as a Community Practice Showcase how innovation in open source and cybersecurity thrives when it's grounded in collaboration, transparency, and shared stewardship across communities and sectors.

Center Sustainability for Long-Term Impact Explore what sustainable contribution and maintenance look like in open source—financially, socially, and technically—and how we can co-create futures that support maintainers and secure infrastructure.
