Why you should go to Query Con this week

Summary: QueryCon, an annual conference about the open source endpoint management tool osquery, takes place June 20th-21st at the Convene Conference Center in Downtown Manhattan, hosted by Trail of Bits at the invitation of original organizers Kolide. At the event, Teddy Reed of Facebook will announce and discuss plans to transfer stewardship of osquery from Facebook to an open-source foundation using Trail of Bits' community-oriented fork, osql, which the firm developed after Facebook refactored the codebase away from standard tools like CMake.

Key Takeaway: Facebook's refactor of osquery's codebase and the planned handoff of the project to a foundation mean the endpoint tooling many top tech firms depend on is changing hands and codebases, so the fork your fleet runs on is now a decision rather than a default.
