If you had a ticket to Grace Hopper and have not cancelled your plans to go to the bay, go to LinkedIn and DM GitHub right now if you’d like to attend Universe for free.

So much love for the Node.js community.
I gave my first ever tech talk at @NodeConfCo, and I got to show up for @RenderATL. Really grateful to the foundation for the opportunity.
What happens when the Node.js community gets together to talk about the future? A lot. 👀
Node.js Interactive 2026 brought developers, maintainers, speakers, and open source leaders together in Atlanta for conversations about the technology and, just as importantly, the people behind it.
And there was a reminder worth repeating: open source infrastructure runs on people. Supporting maintainers and strengthening communities is how we keep the ecosystem moving forward.
Catch up on the conversations and takeaways from Node.js Interactive 2026 👇

Thank you @aviv_keller for the post. And thank you @RenderATL for having us.
WE LOVE OUR COMMUNITY!

“Package registries are no longer just dependency servers, they’ve quietly become runtime infrastructure for global systems … and that model doesn’t hold” —@rginn206, @openjsf on the @LinuxFoundation’s new “Sustaining Package Registries Working Group” #OSSummit

“Free to use” doesn’t mean “free to run.”
@rginn206, Executive Director, @openjsf, takes the stage at #OSSummit to discuss the future of package registries - and the growing pressure from AI-scale demand, infrastructure costs, and supply chain attacks.
10 trillion downloads are projected in 2026. The open source ecosystem is being forced to rethink how the infrastructure behind it gets sustained.

"Supporting open-source repositories has become a mission-critical issue for everyone in the software business. Until recently, however, it's been invisible. We no longer have the luxury of assuming volunteers will keep the doors of open-source code libraries open. These sites must have our support, or we're all going to be in trouble developing, building, and running the programs our companies need to keep the lights on."
Great article from @sjvn @ZDNET on the new Package Registry Working Group news today.

Funny story. I spoke at a conference in Greece (devIT 2018 in Thessaloniki) and the organizers asked me to play guitar and sing a song to kick off the conference. I obliged by changing the words of Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” to be about JavaScript.

Fave keynote, especially hearing how Christina Koch handles being the only woman in a room of 10 engineers.
🚀“What we do as astronauts is chair fly a situation…identify and then strategize.”
She’s so cool. And she surfs, too! ✨
Throwback Thursday feels extra special today: Christina Koch is taking off 🚀 and will be the first woman to journey around the moon.
In 2020, she spoke at OpenJS World about what life is like in outer space as an international crew member of the ISS, and being a female in STEM.

Lodash gets 100M+ downloads a day.
For years, it was primarily maintained by one person: @jdalton
Then life happened. He stepped back.
Now Lodash is entering a new phase with shared governance and support from the OpenJS Foundation.
Big reminder: Open source isn’t just code. It’s people.

"Open source dependencies should be treated as part of the security perimeter, the systems you are responsible for securing, even if you don’t control them. That means identifying which projects are critical, evaluating their operational health, and ensuring there is sufficient upstream capacity to maintain them." - @rginn206 💪
"The biggest supply-chain risk isn’t abandoned code. It’s unsupported ecosystems."
At RSAC 2026, OpenJS Executive Director @rginn206 outlined a consistent pattern across ecosystems: when maintainer capacity does not scale with dependency usage, security risk increases.

npm has revoked classic tokens for publishing, pushing maintainers toward OIDC trusted publishing or granular tokens. But @openjsf warns OIDC trusted publishing still has risky gaps for critical projects.

New Era for React = Stronger JavaScript Ecosystem 💙
We're thrilled that React is coming under the Linux Foundation to create the React Foundation.
React doesn’t live in isolation - It works alongside Node.js, Electron, webpack, and more. A dedicated foundation means more collaboration, security, and sustainability across the ecosystem.

Open source foundations don’t run on “magic piles of money.”
Registries, CDNs, CI pipelines, security response and compliance work all require sustained support. Read why OpenJS joined peers in signing “Open Infrastructure is Not Free.”
