Presented virtually by Matthew Khouzam of Ericsson at TheiaCon 2022.
This talk details the need for OpenVSX moving forwards. A Theia-based IDE alone is effectively unusable. However, add some plug-ins, and the solution becomes glorious. A great example would be Theia Blueprint. In a corporate environment, how does one handle this loader? It is a vector for attack and should be studied.
This talk is intended to inform any company wanting to deploy Theia-based IDEs internally with concerns of security, or for users concerned with data privacy.
