Celebrating our 2021 Open Source Contributions

Summary: Trail of Bits reports that its employees submitted over 190 pull requests that were merged into repositories outside the company in 2021. The post highlights contributions to projects such as osquery and notes that reviewing, maintaining, and testing merged code are separate parts of the open source process.

Why it matters: The 190-plus merged pull requests into outside projects are code changes that now sit in software the wider ecosystem depends on, and the post points out that each one still needs a reviewer, a maintainer, and tests to keep working.
