Learn about osskb.org, a free service by the Software Transparency Foundation designed to help open source projects create complete, machine-readable Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) in this 51-minute conference talk from the Linux Foundation. Discover how this platform addresses the significant burden many open source projects face when generating SBOMs, particularly resource-constrained projects, large integration efforts, and those dealing with complex dependencies. Explore the detection capabilities for undeclared dependencies and unwanted code snippets, which represent major challenges for project maintainers. Understand how osskb.org integrates as a backend with popular open source tools including FOSSology, ORT, FOSSLight, scanoos.py, and Theia to detect open source files and code snippets against one of the largest open source knowledge bases while providing license information and maintaining user privacy. Examine the Software Transparency Foundation's mission, governance structure, and shareholders, and gain insights into the open source technologies powering the platform. Watch demonstrations of how OSSKB.org works when integrated with popular compliance tools and CI/CD pipelines, making accurate open source scanning accessible to all projects regardless of their resource constraints.
