Statement of Intent:
Edward will be focusing on the following two areas:
.1. Delivering pure community releases that the community can build and consume. Currently not everything has version control nor hast the source code tagging covers everything. This must be fixed ASAP so everybody can reliably build community releases.
2. Actively address security vulnerabilities. Currently the scorecard on Tungsten Fabric is insecure. It is due to old 3 party packages, outdated code, and development discipline. Edward want to enable CI/CD to scan security vulnerability for the code commits as well as community releases.
The goal is to have a secure and reliable releases the community can easily consume.
