Moving Academia Toward Practice Through Accreditation
summary
A joint CNCF/OpenSSF accreditation program defines 10 topic areas (cloud fundamentals and software supply chain security), requires a 7–10 page application, a dean’s letter, and two of four hands-on assignments such as a SIGstore monitor, reproducible builds, VCS controls and two-party code review. Reviews are iterative with detailed feedback, not binary pass/fail; the first university already passed. Preparing a packet takes a few hours if materials are centralized, and example curricula are available from community contributors.
