Your Voice Belongs Here: How to Get Involved in the OpenSSF Community
One of the most common misconceptions we hear in the OpenSSF community is that you need special permission to contribute. You do not.

Collaborate on capabilities and best practices that secure open source software.
Participate in the latest community conversations and engage with experts.
Take free courses on secure coding practices as part of our certificate program.
Explore our helpful security guides to help secure your project from the start.
