Re: [open-regulatory-compliance] Joint statement on the value of voluntary security attestations
Dear Shanda,

I apologise for being right on the deadline. Here is a quote from the Open Source Robotics Foundation regarding the joint statement.

"At the OSRF, we know well the relevance of security to robotics, and the need for certainty by our users when building robots that will go into peoples' workplaces, homes, and daily lives. We view voluntary security attestations as an effective mechanism for giving our users the confidence they need to build and deploy robotics products on open-source software, without overly burdening contributors to that software."

Thanks,
Geoff Biggs

Hi all,

Following Juan’s note, we’re preparing the launch of the ORC joint statement on voluntary security attestations, planned for April 16.

As part of the rollout, we’re inviting members who support the statement to contribute a short quote that we can feature across our social media and communications. This is a great opportunity to highlight your organisation’s perspective and reinforce the importance of attestations. If you would like to contribute a quote, please send it directly to me.  

A few quick details:

  • Deadline (preferred): April 15. We understand internal approvals can take time, so quotes are still welcome after launch and will be used in ongoing promotion
  • Length: 1–3 sentences
  • Focus: Why voluntary security attestations matter to your organisation, open source sustainability, or the broader ecosystem

We have also drafted a social media kit to make it easy for you to amplify the statement across your own channels once it goes live. There is currently no link in the document, but it will be added on April 16. 

If you’d like to contribute a quote or have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Shanda

Dear ORC Community,

After a few weeks of work and several rounds of feedback we finalised the joint statement on the role of Voluntary security attestations. Please take a look to it and if you have a ny strong concern with it, please let me know.

In the coming days, Shanda will be sharing a social kit and the launching plan for those of you who want to actively promote it.

Once again, thanks a lot for the engagement and contributions and best regards,
Juan
