In software, I am a maintainer of the Open Source Pledge (https://opensourcepledge.com) and of thanks.dev (https://thanks.dev), projects which aim to make the Open Source ecosystem healthier and more sustainable, in order to reduce exploitation and to protect our vulnerable international software infrastructure.
