Switching up the roles this time, Naseer Mohammed from Google Cloud hits me with questions about OpenSSF's Gemara project (the GRC Engineering Model for Automated Risk Assessments).

Rob and I recorded today after our weekly sync to give listeners a quick introduction to the FINOS Common Cloud Controls project, and some of its latest progress.

You can check out the latest from the CCC project at ccc.finos.org

Brandt Keller sat down with me to chat through the latest efforts happening in CNCF's Technical Advisory Group for Security and Compliance.

Brandt is a CNCF Ambassador, Technical Lead of CNCF's TAG Security & Compliance, and Software Engineer at Defense Unicorns.

After a particularly lengthy working session preparing for the next release of the Open Source Project Security Baseline, Ben and I stop to drop some general knowledge and updates about that initiative.

Ben is the Open Source Community Lead at Kusari. You can pick up a copy of his book here: https://pragprog.com/titles/bcosp/program-management-for-open-source-projects/

Here's what you can expect from the second season season of ZBG.

Jon & Fiona from Major League Hacking share with us their stories of working in tech, starting successful nonprofits, and how they create effective paths for learners to start careers in technology. This hilarious episode is a great way to close out Season One!

Before before he became a prominent figure in open source communities such as the CNCF, and long before he became an author in the latest installment on the popular IT Revolution series following Phoenix Project... Andres Vega spent years honing his knowledge working in a variety of roles at notable organizations such as Cisco, HPE, and VMWare. 

In this episode we hear about how Andres got involved in writing, how his organization does things like set up enterprise "red teams," and we get peeks into the wisdom provided in the latest book: Investments Unlimited.

Long before Taylor Dolezal became the head of the CNCF ecosystem, he led a massive technical revitalization for all of Disney Studios. This episode is a bit longer than normal, because Taylor’s stories are just too wild to cut short.
