WHEN: Wednesday, March 7th, 2018 7 - 8:30pm MAIN PRESENTATION TOPIC: Bugmark: A Futures Market for Software Issues PRESENTED BY: Andrew Leak, Lead Developer, Bugmark TOPIC SUMMARY: Bugmark is an experimental futures market for software issues. Bugmark differs from traditional job-matching systems in that it uses market-generated price signals to direct resources to areas of highest value. The market trades both software fixes and vulnerability disclosures with a single instrument. Trades are recorded on the blockchain, and transactions can be conducted in digital or fiat currency. For Linux sponsors and community members, Bugmark is a simple, streamlined way to incentivize open-source development. For Linux developers, Bugmark gives a new way to earn income. Bugmark is a new project supported by Mozilla, and is looking for additional early adopter sponsors in the Linux community. SVLUG is pleased to co-sponsor this presentation with Silicon Valley Linux Technology Meetup (https://www.meetup.com/Silicon-Valley-Linux-Technology/events/248262477/). ABOUT THE PRESENTER: Andrew Leak is the lead developer on Bugmark, a futures market for software issues. Andrew works as a contract software developer, has long history in Silicon Valley at large enterprise and small startups, and has been a desktop XFCE user for the past 10 years.
