Evolution of the situation
The number of sponsored hours reached 172 hours per month thanks to maxcluster GmbH joining as silver sponsor and RHX Srl joining as bronze sponsor.
We only need a couple of supplementary sponsors now to reach our objective of funding the equivalent of a full time position.
The security tracker currently lists 39 packages with a known CVE and the dla-needed.txt file 34. It’s a small bump compared to last month but almost all issues are affected to someone.
