David A. Wheeler lists
some of the security-related projects
he is overseeing at the Linux
Foundation. For example:

Ariadne Conill is improving Alpine Linux security, including
significant improvements to its vulnerability processing and making
it reproducible. For example, as noted in the July 2021 report,
this resulted in Alpine 3.14 being released with the lowest open
vulnerability count in the final release in a long time. Alpine
Linux’s security is important because many containers use it.
