### AI overview

Bootstrap team members Mark and Julien describe participating in the second round of GitHub's Secure Open Source Fund. The three-week program combined presentations, workshops, office hours, and project-specific work focused on strengthening open-source security, code, workflows, and processes.

### Source excerpt

Mark and Julien recently represented Bootstrap in the second round of the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund this past June. The program is designed to programmatically and financially improve the security and sustainability of open source projects, and we were honored to be a part of it. GitHub brought together open source maintainers, security experts, and ecosystem partners for an intensive, hands-on learning experience. Throughout three weeks, we had a few days of mixed expert-led presentations, collaborative workshops, and dedicated office hours with security specialists. Between sessions, we had homework: concrete, project-specific actions to immediately strengthen our codebase, workflows, and processes.

### AI overview

This tutorial examines OpenSSF-recommended compiler flags for C and C++ code, focusing on how hardened standard-library calls and related protections affect memory safety and buffer-overflow behavior. It demonstrates the examples using a Docker-based development environment.
