There is a great deal of information being shared between individuals, companies and continents in the OpenChain Project. Here is a recent example: a presentation from Ueba San of Fujitsu at the recent OpenChain Workshop adjacent to OSS EU in Lyon.
Review the Presentation
The OpenChain Japan Work Group pioneered a series of super quick case studies to help everyone get to know each other. We believe these can be useful for local Work Groups in every location and want to share a template that can be adapted. The content of this template is not editable because it refers to actual company processes, but the idea and layout can be copied freely.

The OpenChain Project will be at CES 2020. This initiative is being lead by the OpenChain Japan Work Group. More news to follow soon!
For the holiday season the OpenChain Japan Work Group will be running new posts about the project and open source compliance in general from 1st to 25th of December.
Big thanks to Watanabe San and Endo San for making this happen!

The OpenChain Project is delighted to announce that LG Electronics is the latest company to announce an OpenChain conformant program. LGE is the first major Korean company to take this step, cementing their status as a thought leader in the space, and directly building on their active work throughout 2019 in establishing the OpenChain Korea Work Group
“Open source software is increasingly being used in new technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and the cloud,” said I.P. Park, CTO of LG Electronics. “We will comply with open source licenses and increase quality so that customers can use LG Electronics’ products and services with confidence.”
“The LG Electronics open source team has been a fantastic part of the global open source community for many years,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “We have been collaborating on open source program office matters, on open source compliance matters, and on broader open source optimization in the context of business workflows. Today’s announcement builds on the past and clearly signals a bright future. I and all the rest of the OpenChain community are looking forward to furthering our relationship and furthering great initiatives such as the OpenChain Korea Work Group.”

About the OpenChain Project
The OpenChain Project builds trust in open source by making open source license compliance simpler and more consistent. The OpenChain Specification defines a core set of requirements every quality compliance program must satisfy. The OpenChain Curriculum provides the educational foundation for open source processes and solutions, whilst meeting a key requirement of the OpenChain Specification. OpenChain Conformance allows organizations to display their adherence to these requirements. The result is that open source license compliance becomes more predictable, understandable and efficient for participants of the software supply chain.
