OWF came up in a meeting recently -- may not be as awesome as NSA wants you to believe.

#9There's a lot of neat things there. (This one looks interesting: https://iadgov.github.io/goSecure/)
Also interesting is splitting the repos: that the NSA and IAD have different repos, and that one seems focused on defensive tech while the other is publishing analysis tools.
I know there's a lot of people who aren't fans of the NSA (or what they do), but I think most of us can see a need for a military-grade organization to research defensive technologies for helping secure our infrastructure. I don't think many of us would be unhappy with the NSA if that's all they did. (Or phrased another way: most of us are unhappy because of how they conduct intel work or compromise defensive capability for offensive ones, eg, that whole business with ECC.)
So I think it's important to respond positively to things like the IAD github page, even if we're not fans in general.

FWIW, all your crypto is used by NSA as well.
