Chainguard CEO's keys to open source software success

  • Summary

  • How is open source sustainability similar to the subprime mortgage crisis? And what can an episode of South Park teach us about open product business models?

    Dan Lorenc has a uniquely multifaceted view of these and other questions – he worked at Google from 2012 to 2021, began contributing to open source projects in the Kubernetes community in 2016, and along the way, developed the tooling that would become the Sigstore project, which helps to verify the provenance of open source code packages. Sigstore is now governed by the OpenSSF, where Dan is a member of the Technical Advisory Council. He is also co-founder and CEO of Chainguard, a software supply chain security startup.

    Find out what Dan's take is on everything from the "Tragedy of the Commons" idea itself to the government's role in open source maintenance, the CNCF's role in open products, "open source lite" licenses and what's worked for Chainguard's business so far in this episode.
