[Toybox] EU invitation to an interactive session on improving FOSS security

[Adrian (Aad) Offerman]

Dear Rob, and Toybox community,

The European Commission’s EU-FOSSA 2 project is connecting with a number
of developer communities – including Toybox – to discuss how to improve
the security of some of the smaller open source software. We hope you
are willing to work with us and discuss security-related issues,
practices and needs.

In the first instance we would like to invite you to an interactive
session with Marek Przybyszewski and Saranjit Arora, the Project
Managers of the EU-FOSSA 2 project.

The project aims to improve the security of critical open source
software by setting up bug bounty programmes, organising hackathons, and
engaging with developer communities. We have included more information
on EU-FOSSA 2 as an attachment to this invitation.

The reasons we selected the Toybox project for this programme are that
it is available for Linux and Android as well as MacOS and FreeBSD, and
that it can be compiled against several C libraries.

Other FOSS projects approached in a similar fashion include
OpenKeyChain, the FPGA/OSHW community, LineageOS and /e/, and Arduino.

Please advice who should be involved in this session from your side
(e.g. team leads, core developers, community members involved in
security). The Project team will set up a web conference call when we
agree on a date and time, and a short agenda.

We hope to hold this session in the coming weeks. Please let us know how
you feel about this and what further information you need to decide.

Thank you,
  Adrian Offerman
  on behalf of the EU-FOSSA 2 team
