Here are some examples of where the CII best practices badge has been discussed, including our efforts to let people know about it.

• "Preventing the next Heartbleed and making FOSS more secure", interview by Mark Bohannon of David A. Wheeler, 2016-06-22, opensource.com
• "Open Source best practices criteria", Brandon Keepers (atom text editor), 2016-07-03. He said, "This is a great project and is receiving adoption in some circles..." and had two suggestions: "It needs a shorter and catchier name so I can tell more people about it" and "The project could benefit from more automation and autodetection." (David A. Wheeler agrees with both points.)
