Technical Oversight Committee
Overview
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.
