One of my main aims as Open Source Lead at the Government Digital Service was to make sure that there were good resources in place to help people code in the open. Many of these didn’t exist when I started the role so I created them. I’ve collected useful resources here.

From the security perspective, it’s also worth knowing that while GCHQ don’t code in the open, they have released quite a bit of open source code.
