The field of software engineering is moving towards a greater emphasis on security, transparency, and community involvement. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of software bill of materials (SBOM) in securing the software supply chain, as well as the need for more effective vulnerability disclosure policies. The integration of large language models in software engineering education is also becoming increasingly popular, with potential benefits for improving student engagement and learning outcomes. Furthermore, research on decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) has shown that social dynamics and power structures can have a significant impact on participation and decision-making processes. Noteworthy papers in this area include 'Non Technical Debt in Agile Software Development', which provides practical strategies for reducing non-technical debt and improving team performance, and 'When Secure Isn't: Assessing the Security of Machine Learning Model Sharing', which highlights the security risks associated with machine learning model sharing and provides recommendations for improving security practices.
