OpenSSF Community Day Europe 2026

The GNU toolchain sits underneath a huge amount of the software the world relies on. GLIBC is a good place to start that conversation because so much depends on it, yet the systems behind projects like this often get far less attention than the code itself.

This keynote looks at why secure, reliable project infrastructure has become part of the open source security conversation. Source control, mailing lists, mirrors, release workflows, and long-term operations are not background details when the software involved sits in the path of operating systems, cloud platforms, embedded devices, AI systems, and public services.

We will talk about the work behind Core Toolchain Infrastructure, why it matters for GLIBC and the broader GNU toolchain, and what it means for the people and organizations that depend on this work every day. We will also share an important update on CTI’s next phase.

Attendees will leave with a clearer view of the risks CTI is meant to reduce, why upstream support is a security investment, and how companies can help strengthen the toolchain before the next failure forces the conversation.
