Elixir Community Updates and Security Insights

In this episode of the Thinking Elixir podcast, Mark Ericksen covers several key updates from the Elixir community. Erlang/OTP has achieved OpenChain ISO certification, enhancing its compliance and attractiveness for enterprise use. A new book titled 'Elixir Patterns' by Hugo Barauna and Alex Koutmos has been released, offering insights into common patterns in Elixir development along with free sample chapters. Additionally, a security audit of Oban Web and Oban Pro by Paraxial.io found no critical vulnerabilities, reassuring users about the security of these tools. The episode also discusses the upcoming Alchemy Conf in Braga, Portugal, where Hugo Barauna will present on Livebook, and highlights a major rewrite of the version manager asdf in Go, which introduced breaking changes but promises improved functionality. The overall emphasis is on community progress and the importance of security in Elixir applications.
