The goal of the "Free and Open Source Security Audit" (FOSSA) pilot project is to increase security of Free Software used by the European institutions. The FSFE has been following the project since the early beginning in 2014. I am concerned that if the project stays on its current course the European Institutions will spent a large part of the 1 Million Euro budget without positive impact on the security of Free Software; and the result will be a set of consultancy reports nobody will ever read. But if we work together and communicate our concerns to the responsible people in the Parliament and the Commission, there might still be a valuable outcome.
Here the blog post with more background information about it: http://k7r.eu/fossa-now-we-need-feedback-by-the-real-experts/ As written in the post: As you are the real experts, now we need your feedback. What do you think about the deliverables themselves and what about our comments so far? I am especially interested if you benefit from the recommendations <https://wiki.fsfe.org/Policy/FossaRecommendations>.
