Report of the 2024 March OSPO Local Meetup in Helsinki

[CsatariGergely]

Our March Meetup was about Cyber resilience, health and sponsoring of open source projects. The 10 participants who gathered in the offices of HH Partners and enjoyed the food and beverages support from DoubleOpen participated in two in person and one virtual presentation.

Juan Antonio Osorio from Stacklok explained how to minimise the risk of open source usage by using healthy open source projects. Stacklok provides two tools for this: Minder and Trusty.
Gergely Csatari from Nokia briefly explained the different ways to support critical open source projects in a presentation based on a presentation from Kara Sowles in FOSDEM 2024.
Ciarán O'Riordan from Open Forum Europe explained the story of EU's Cyber Resilience Act and what will be the next steps.
We plan to organize the next event in May.

I think the two tools shared in the 1st presentation, Minder and Trusty should be added to the OSPO Landscape in the tooling category: https://landscape.todogroup.org/card-mode?category=sca&grouping=category
