Background
The OpenChain Project provides ISO standards to help ensure open source is professionally managed, and to build increased trust across the open source supply chain. One important aspect of our work is explaining why this is beneficial to different teams in an organization.
What is Happening?
Today, we take a significant step forward to support better understanding of OpenChain open source process management standards by releasing “Explainers” for different teams in organizations. These have been released as CC-0 (effectively public domain) to help companies around the world benefit from adoption best practices for building trusted compliance programs.
These Explainers were developed by Andrew Katz from Orcro, Martin Yagi from First Light Fusion and the rest of the community of contributors who make up the OpenChain Education Work Group.
Get the Explainers
We host the Explainers in our Reference Library in GitHub. You can find them in a dedicated directory called “Education-For-Internal-Teams.”

The Explainers were developed by the OpenChain Education Work Group after initial work through the OpenChain UK Work Group. You can participate in further development by joining the Education Work Group mailing list:
