Sarah was a founding co-chaired the SAFE WG, now renamed to CNCF SIG-Security. She has been worrying about security concerns, since first building Shockwave in the mid-90s (Netscape plug-in and ActiveX control). In early 2000s, she started developing open source as part of the OpenLaszlo core team. As part of the Obama administration, she helped create open source policy at 18F and organized the Smithsonian Institution's first-ever hackathon.
