THE CORE INFRASTRUCTURE INITIATIVE (CII) has announced plans to involve the community in securing open source software.
The CII, which is run by the Linux Foundation, was formed as a joint venture by the technology sector after the Heartbleed palava last year, primarily as a curator of the OpenSSL protocol, but at a wider level to look at overall software security standards.
Today, it has announced a badge program, inviting interested parties to contribute on the criteria used to determine the security, quality and stability of open source software.
