In the U.S., the FDA doesn't ● typically review code ● have a clear set of requirements for software ● keep a repository of source code

I am a cyborg lawyer

Software has bugs. ● SEI estimates 1 defect per 100 lines of code. ● 98% of software failures analyzed in recalls would have been detected with all pairs testing.

A premium class car has close to 100 million lines of code. (~1 million defects?)

And now... the Internet of Things

Software is something to be passionate about.

Once upon a time (aka October '14) “It looks like SFC might be a good match since we are looking to get the following out of a foundation. 1. Signify longevity for the project 2. Clarify and manage IP rights 3. Accept donations for the project with low overhead 4. Build community trust & transparency 5. Provide some legal protection for contributors” --Adam Slagell

Security + FOSS

Longevity

Managing legal stuff

Donations

Trust & transparency

Shared values, with different approaches

An exciting year

A foundation is a key step.

You play a critical role.
