Summary

JFrog has announced its new Platinum Membership in the Rust Foundation, with Stephen Chin, VP of Developer Relations, representing the company on the Board of Directors. This partnership highlights JFrog's commitment to supporting open source and developer communities, particularly focusing on the Rust programming language, which is integral to its Pyrsia project—a decentralized, open-source package network. JFrog aims to leverage Rust's high performance and security for developing modern cloud-native applications, and as part of its commitment, it is dedicating security researchers to ensure the Rust ecosystem remains secure. This collaboration marks JFrog's first foundation sponsorship where it not only participates at the board level but also actively contributes to addressing security threats in the Rust community. The partnership aligns with JFrog's broader Liquid Software vision, which emphasizes streamlining software deployments, and it underscores the company's ongoing efforts to support open-source projects and influence the technology landscape through its involvement in multiple foundations.
