Nominating Bradley Meck Farias for OpenSSF Governing Board

Socket is proud to be a member of the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) and do our part to make open source safe for everyone. OpenSSF initiatives are helping to bring a new developer-oriented focus to software security.

Today, we're excited to nominate Bradley Meck Farias as a General Membership Representative to the OpenSSF Governing Board.

Bradley is a veteran participant in OSS for over a decade; he has participated in various organizations such as ECMA TC39 and the Node.js Foundation. He has been a host of the Node.js podcast "Node Up", written technical books including "Node.js in Action", and published workshops on programming effectively. His OSS accomplishments include working on Node.js' core functionality, working on JavaScript language proposals, and a multitude of OSS utility libraries. He worked as an OSS developer while at GoDaddy for multiple years helping to open source and maintain multiple libraries.

Bradley will be an invaluable addition to the OpenSSF board. The variety of experience he brings to the table is vast – from shepherding proposals through standards bodies, writing books, hosting podcasts, creating security software, and writing OSS for decades – stakeholders can count on Bradley to push for progress and community agreement during standards discussions and ensure that OpenSSF fairly represents all constituents in the open source ecosystem.

At Socket, we're not just shipping a useful security product for our customers – we're committed to safeguarding the open source ecosystem for everyone.

Thank you to the forward-thinking developers, security leaders, and open source maintainers who have supported Bradley so far. To those who haven't yet voted, we encourage you to support Bradley Meck Farias as a General Membership Representative to the OpenSSF Governing Board.
