Projects

As part of its mission to support the cloud security community, the fwd:cloudsec organisation has established a Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) to adopt public and open source cloud security projects. The committee will provide a home, oversight and stewardship for these projects, and work to ensure they continue to provide value to the community. The fwd:cloudsec organisation can offer a vendor and provider-neutral support and advisory system, and support the projects by lending credibility, marketing, and advocacy support to projects.

The committee currently supports the following projects:

Adopting Projects

The full adoption criteria and guidance can be found in the Committee Charter, but a summary of the core requirements can be found below:

  • Open Source licensing.
  • Non-commercial, not designed for large-scale production adoption.
    • The FCA and the Committee are not in a position to responsibly sponsor projects fundamental to the daily operations of critical infrastructure or enterprises.
  • Community driven.
  • No single point of failure or benevolent dictator for life (BDFL).
  • Projects should not be the sole effort of a single vendor.
  • There should be community support for the maintenance of the Project. The Committee cannot be personally or collectively responsible for fixing bugs or approving pull requests.
  • The project must adopt the fwd:cloudsec Code of Conduct.
