David Maxwell

Coverity, Inc.

David is Coverity’s Open Source Strategist. He is responsible for Scan and other open source efforts for Coverity.

David was first exposed to the Prevent analysis results before the Scan project was launched. Results had been made available to The FreeBSD Project, and led to many defects being fixed in FreeBSD. David is a developer in The NetBSD Project. On behalf of NetBSD, David contacted Coverity to request an analysis of the NetBSD sources.

After the tremendous tangible benefit to open source projects from Scan’s first year, Coverity decided to hire someone from the open source community to manage the further expansion of the Scan project. David is that representative, and is looking forward to providing results to many more open source projects.
