Interesting that they refer to the Core Infrastructure Initiative. Not in the sense that they participated in funding it. But interesting because that project does not seem to be very alive. I browsed the web site recently and the general impression is it has not been updated for years. So after the first initiative faded away they create the next one?
- scovetta 5y agoThe Open Source Security Foundation (openssf.org) is arguably the successor to the Core Infrastructure Initiative and is very much alive.
- mikeyouse 5y agoNot even arguably - explicitly. From the CII website: > The CII has been replaced by the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF). Please go to the OpenSSF site for current activities in securing open source software. In particular, the CII Best Practices badge work continues as part of the OpenSSF Best Practices Working Group, while the CII research conducted on open source software security by Harvard continues as part of the OpenSSF Securing Critical Projects Working Group. > This CII website is being retained to preserve historical information and to help with transition to the OpenSSF.
- usr1106 5y agoTo keep the website a historical reference is a good practice. But if not every page on the site has a banner to tell this background it can be very misleading. Visitors don't necessarily read the front page.
