Ama-Hacks afana ne-Yahoo! Eminyakeni eyedlule, bengikusho ngoba kuyiyona engenze ngaqonda ukuthi kufanele wakhe amaphasiwedi aqinile futhi ungawasebenzisi futhi, noma abanye abafana ne-Twitter yakamuva kakhulu bayizibonelo ezinkulu ezibonisa ukuthi konke okungenziwa ukuphepha okuncane. Ngalesi sizathu, imininingwane efana nale esikulethela yona namhlanje iyasijabulisa: emahoreni ambalwa edlule kumenyezelwe ukudalwa kwe I-OpenSSF, okuyisichasiso se-Open Source Software Foundation.
Into yokuqala okufanele siyisho nge-OpenSSF ukuthi iyiqoqo nokuthi izinkampani ezifana ne-Google, Intel, Microsoft noma IBM zibamba iqhaza kuyo, kodwa yini ethakazelisa kakhulu noma ezodonsa ukunaka kwabafundi bebhulogi efana Linux Adictos ukuthi kunjalo kusekelwa yiLinux Foundation, obuye abe semumva kwamaphrojekthi afana ne- empumalanga ye-drones. Futhi ingabe leyo software yomthombo ovulekile ithola indawo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kuze kufike ezingeni lokuthi ochwepheshe abangama-69% bakholelwa ukuthi lolu hlobo lwesoftware lubalulekile noma lubaluleke kakhulu.
I-OpenSSF, isekelwa yiLinux Foundation kanye nokubamba iqhaza kweGoogle neMicrosoft
Inhloso noma isizathu sokwakhiwa kwe-OpenSSF ukuhlanganisa abaholi bemboni abehlukene ku thuthukisa ukuphepha kwesoftware yomthombo ovulekile, I-OSS isichazamazwi sayo esiNgisini (isoftware yomthombo ovulekile). Ngalokhu, izinkampani eziyingxenye yaleli qembu zizogxila ekwakheni izinhlelo ezibonakalayo, zilinganise izindlela ezinconyiwe, phakathi kokunye. UJim Zemlin, oyi-CEO yeThe Linux Foundation, uyichaza kanjena:
Sikholelwa ukuthi umthombo ovulekile uwusizo lomphakathi futhi kuzo zonke izimboni sinesibopho sokuhlangana ukuze sithuthukise futhi sisekele ukuphepha kwesoftware yomthombo ovulekile sonke esincike kuyo. Ukuqinisekisa ukuphepha komthombo ovulekile kungenye yezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu esingazenza, futhi kudinga ukuthi wonke umuntu emhlabeni wonke asize emzameni. I-OpenSSF izohlinzeka leso sithangami ngomzamo wokubambisana ngempela kuzo zonke izimboni.
ILinux Foundation ithi futhi kunabathuthukisi abaningi nabaxhasi ababambe iqhaza enqubeni yokuthuthukisa isoftware yomthombo ovulekile, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuthi labo ababhekele ukuphepha kwabasebenzisi noma izinhlangano zabo baqonde futhi baqinisekise ukuphepha kwalolu chungechunge lokuncika. Ukwakhiwa kwe-OpenSSF kuyinto yakhelwe ukuhlanganisa amaphrojekthi aholayo ukuvikeleka komthombo ovulekile nabantu nezinhlangano ezisekela lezi zinhlelo.
Abasebenzisi beLinux bavame ukuzola ngokuphepha kwesoftware esiyisebenzisayo, kepha ukufika kwe-OpenSSF ngokungangabazeki kuyizindaba ezinhle.
