Engaging in Co-Creation Robot Research with Researchers around the World

By News

The Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) Frontier Research Center is dedicated to providing freedom of mobility for all. To that end, it is engaged in research into robots that live in harmony with people. The Frontier Research Center has adopted co-creation research, which is a collaborative approach to research whereby researchers around the world are free to participate as they choose. Here, we ask researchers Yuuka Hashiguchi and Yasukata Yokochi why Toyota has chosen a co-creation approach to developing robots, and we also hear about the latest results of their research.

Description: Using ISO 5230, The International Standard For Open Source License Compliance- Shane Coughlan, Linux Foundation
This talk will introduce and explain ISO 5230, the International Standard for open source license compliance. It will focus on practical understanding and adoption, explaining how user companies created a simple, effective and efficient standard to reduce errors and resource costs associated with open source compliance. Case studies will be used to illustrate real-world deployment across multiple industry sectors. We will end with an explicit walk-through of how your company can utilize the standard in the context of internal software process management and your external supply chain.

Maestros is a webinar series developed for industry leaders to share stories and relevant content about intellectual property, patents and innovation.

With the increasing use of third-party open source software components, libraries and frameworks in building modern applications, the importance of managing open source software license obligations has never been higher. In the second episode of this series, you will understand why organizations such as Microsoft, Google, Facebook and Toshiba are adopting a standard for managing open source license compliance. Our guest speaker, Martin Callinan, will show you the requirements to conform, where you can get support and how to use a benefit from conforming to the standard.

How OpenChain Became The International Standard for Compliance @ FOSSBackstage

By News

This talk explored the process of building and deploying the first Linux Foundation ISO standard in fourteen years in collaboration with the Joint Development Foundation. It explained why the evolution from de facto industry standard to formal standardization was important for open source compliance in the context of areas like sale, procurement and M&A. An equal amount of time was spent providing a guide to the journey itself, as the lessons learned are applicable to all projects building out specifications or code that seek worldwide, lasting adoption across multiple industries. The standardization process was framed in the context of timely engagement, with SPDX queued to be the second Joint Development Foundation PAS submission behind OpenChain, and everyone involved ready to support more projects undertaking a similar journey in the months and years ahead. In practical terms, it allows the audience to come away with a clear understanding of how we will take open source and standards to the next level.
