Highlights include the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol donated to the Linux Foundation, the release of Gemma 3 and the Agent Development Kit, and several security initiatives — CodeMender (an AI agent that upstreamed 72 security fixes), OSS Rebuild (supply chain attack prevention), OSV-Scalibr (vulnerability scanning), and credential scanning on deps.dev. Google's OSPO also directed $2M to over 40 open source projects and ran the 21st Google Summer of Code supporting 1,280 contributors across 185 organizations. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
