Dear Apache Geode Community, I’d like to extend a sincere thank you to Sai Boorlagadda for taking the lead on GEODE-10481, which introduces automated Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation as part of the Apache Geode 2.0.0 modernization effort.
This initiative is a significant step forward in enhancing supply chain security, dependency transparency, and compliance readiness—especially for enterprise and federal deployments. By enabling SPDX-compliant SBOMs across Geode’s multi-module builds, we’re laying the groundwork for faster vulnerability response, improved license verification, and stronger DevSecOps integration. Sai’s proactive contribution exemplifies the kind of forward-thinking collaboration that continues to move Geode in the right direction. It’s great to see this kind of momentum as we collectively shape the future of the project. Thanks again, Sai—and thanks to everyone contributing to the 2.0.0 release and beyond. Best regards, Jinwoo Hwang (he/him/his) SAS® Research and Development http://JinwooHwang.com<http://jinwoohwang.com/>
