In this episode of What's in the SOSS, we sit down with longtime open source leader and DevOps champion Tracy Ragan. From her early days with the Eclipse Foundation to her current work with Ortelius, the Continuous Delivery Foundation, and the OpenSSF, Tracy shares her journey through the ever-evolving world of open source security.
We dig into the importance of configuration management, what DevSecOps really means, and how projects like the OpenSSF Scorecard and Ortelius help make our software supply chains more transparent and secure. Plus, we tackle the education gap between security pros and DevOps engineers—and how we can bridge it.
If you're curious about building more secure pipelines or just want to geek out about SBOMs and Scorecard, this episode is for you.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
