Two August events will focus on making HDF5 more transparent, inspectable, and secure:
- FOSSY 2026 — Aug 6, Vancouver: A GNU poke-based, machine-readable file-format specification for HDF5
- HDF5 SHINES / Safe-OSE Workshop — Aug 12 afternoon, SDSC / UC San Diego + Zoom: HDF5 safety, security, privacy, supply-chain risk, audit findings, mitigation priorities, and community next steps
This is for HDF5 users, developers, administrators, packagers, integrators, security researchers, data managers, digital librarians, and anyone who depends on HDF5.
Please join us by replying below with your HDF5 SSP concerns or use cases, and tell us what the community should prioritize.
