Your Ortelius Journey

The Ortelius Supply Chain catalog has been gaining immense popularity as it brings an open source, breakthrough solution for tracking your Supply Chain metadata, including SBOM and CVEs, across the DevOps Pipeline. So the question is how can we jointly contribute to the success of both the catalog and the idea itself and continue to build on a solution that prepares us for centralizing supply chain intelligence needed for understanding the ingredients of the software we create. This article demonstrates a few of the ways you can kick-start your journey for the good of all.
