What is your organizational mission statement: We build free, open source digital solutions for nonprofits and municipalities.
What drives your interest in joining the OpenSSF? Security is an imperative characteristic in the work we do. Designing, building, and maintaining security well requires (1) collaboration with like-minded folks & (2) continuous updating of all models to reflect the dynamic landscape.
I hope OpenSSF will be of service in both of these requirements.
What are your organization’s aspirations for contributing to the OpenSSF, and how do you anticipate that your membership will bolster the OpenSSF's growth and support? While we cannot be a fiscal supporter, we are active in the space.
As your Mission includes, "to inspire and enable the community to secure the open source software...." OSSF engaging with Digital Aid Seattle aids your mission.
We are building bespoke digital solutions for nonprofits, and then making those solutions available to any nonprofit, for free, via open source license. We are working to expand into Local and State government as well.
The more secure our offerings are (bolstered by OSSF), the more your mission is accomplished in securing the data of and services provided to the most vulnerable among us.
Could you summarize your organization’s contributions to OpenSSF? By DAS providing secure open source tools to communities in need and cash-strapped municipalities, we:
spread the word of the benefit and security of open source software to communities that otherwise wouldn't hear it
reinforce the same in the minds of our growing community of volunteer builders
Please include any contributions made to OpenSSF or other OpenSSF projects and open-source projects developed using any OpenSSF dependencies. none to date.
How many developers do you expect to have contribute to OpenSSF projects in the next 6-12 months? Are there other roles such as researchers, analysts or any other positions that you plan on contributing? I would need to better understand which developers you're in need of and what you're expecting from them.
How do you currently leverage any OpenSSF resources in your organization? We don't yet. I thought the civil thing to do would be to reach out to you to see if there was a more mutually-beneficial way to engage first.
