FLOSS Weekly 550: CII Best Practices Badge Update




All TWiT.tv Shows (Video) show

Summary: <p>The Linux Foundation (LF) Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII) Best Practices badge is a way for Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects to show that they follow best practices. Projects can voluntarily self-certify, at no cost, by using this web application to explain how they follow each best practice. The CII Best Practices Badge is inspired by the many badges available to projects on GitHub. Consumers of the badge can quickly assess which FLOSS projects are following best practices and as a result are more likely to produce higher-quality secure software.</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/randal-schwartz">Randal Schwartz</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/jp_bennett" target="_blank">Jonathan Bennett</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/" target="_blank">David Wheeler</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly</a></p> <p><a href="http://bit.ly/flossweeklyguests" target="_blank">Here's what's coming up for FLOSS in the future</a>.</p> <p>Think your open source project should be on FLOSS Weekly?
