As the world relies more and more on Free and Open Source Software components, they are increasingly targeted by security attacks. Since the xz Utils case, social engineering attacks, such as how to deal with them and how to prevent them, have increasingly received attention.
For a report by the Prototype Fund, we are currently looking at the topic of trust in the context of social engineering threats in open source projects. The Prototype Fund is the first low-threshold funding program for free developers in Germany. We fund innovative, community-driven Free and Open Source Software. In this workshop we would like to facilitate a conversation and learn from you and your experience as project maintainers, contributors or observers of the free and open source space.
