Johannes Segitz
Security engineer at SUSE.
Since my time as a teenager in the 90s I was interested in IT security. After visiting my first CCC congress I got hooked and never looked back. In the last ten years I am a member of the SUSE security team and try to make open source software more secure.

No video of the event yet, sorry!
After the XZ backdoor it becomes clear that the OSS ecosystem and openSUSE project in interaction with it needs to change.
SUSE has been working on supply chain security improvements, others have too.
This workshop is meant to discuss proposed solutions or ideas from SUSE or outside and collect workable ideas for the openSUSE project.
