Hey folks! I’m excited to announce that the Google Summer of Code proposal from @nohlson to adopt the C and C++ Compiler Options Hardening Guide in CPython has been accepted! 
Nate will be working on this project over the summer and will receive mentorship from @dustin and I to help him be successful during his time on the project and beyond in his open source journey.
The guide itself is intended to use compiler options to avoid some common memory safety issues in C code. Thanks to @mdroettboom for attending the Memory Hardening SIG meeting and putting together the initial issue and @hugovk for suggesting the approach of incremental adoption.
If there are questions about the proposal you can ask here or on GitHub and they’ll be answered.
