Jamie Tanna's profile image

Hi, I'm Jamie Tanna đŸ‘‹đŸŒ

If you're referring to me, I'm happy being called Jamie, Jamie Tanna, jamietanna, and that you respect my pronouns: he/him/his.

I'm currently the Renovate project lead at Mend.

I currently live in Nottingham with my partner Anna Dodson and our cat Morph and our dog Cookie.

I use my site as a method of blogging about my learnings, as well as sharing information about projects I have previously, or am currently, working on in my spare time.

I'm an maintainer for a number of Open Source projects, including oapi-codegen, and Renovate, as part of my job at Mend.

I'm a GNU/Linux user, a big advocate for the Free Software Movement, and the IndieWeb movement and I try to self host my own services where possible, instead of relying on other providers.

I have ADHD (Inattentive Type) and am learning how to make my life work better around it.

Due to the many social media platforms and different ways to connect, I've captured all my contact information on my /elsewhere page. Alternatively, you can drop me an email at hi@jamietanna.co.uk.

I also have a /now page which aims to cover some more up-to-date "what I'm up to" information.

My birthday is on the .

Listened to Open Source Security
Post details
Open Source Security is a media project to help showcase and educate on open source security. Our goal is to give the community a platform educate both developers and users on how open source security works. There’s a lot of good work happening that doesn’t get attention because there’s no marketing department behind it, they don’t have a developer relations team posting on LinkedIn every two hours. Let’s focus on those people and teams then learn what they do and how they do it. The goal is to hear from the people doing the work, they know what’s up, they have a lot to teach us. We just have to listen.

Listened to Open Source Security: Dependency attacks in 2026 with James Matchett
Post details
Josh chats with Jeff Matchett from Cloudsmith about a new report they put out. It has some scary looking statistics in it about how organizations are using dependencies. There are some surprising numbers in there, but the story is really one of defense in depth. There's no single thing we can do here, it's all about knowing what you have every step of the way. It's easy to say, but certainly a challenge to do right. James is a ton of fun to chat with and filled with energy and knowledge. The show notes and blog post for this episode can be found at https://opensourcesecurity.io/2026/2026-10-james-cloudsmith
