The next Energy SBOM PoC meeting will be a big one

The next bi-weekly meeting of the SBOM Energy Proof of Concept will take place this Wednesday (the 14th) at noon ET. We have a stellar meeting set up, and I hope you can make it. If you haven’t joined our mailing list and would like to, send an email to SBOMenergypoc@inl.gov. But if you’d prefer your accustomed anonymity, you’re welcome to join us anyway.

We have two great guest speakers: Josh Corman of CISA, who – in his words – is “an early and ardent advocate for transparency, SBOM, and bringing proven supply chain principles into the modern software.” He will discuss the early days of the SBOM “movement” (cult?), as well as the use cases for SBOMs. His text (scripture?) will be this foundational document on use cases for SBOMs, which he took the lead in producing back in the mists of time forgotten. The document isn’t required reading for the meeting, but it’s an excellent paper, so I suggest you read it at some point if you have a serious interest (obsession?) with SBOMs.

Josh will also discuss the use cases for the Healthcare PoC, which started in 2018. Of course, Josh was very involved in getting that off the ground. The other speaker will be Allan Friedman of NTIA, who will discuss the history of SBOMs at the NTIA. We’ll have a little time for Q&A at the end (although, as usual, I’m sure there will be a lively set of questions and answers in the chat).

Here’s the connection information. See you then!
