The OpenChain Project was invited by Max at Alibaba to present at the OpenAnolis Standardization SIG Meeting on the 25th of February event held between 15:00 ~ 18:00 CST. The focus was on explaining the current OpenChain specifications for open source license compliance and security assurance, and how the OpenChain community supports organizations of all sizes engaging with the open source supply chain.

■Summary

• We would create an equally short and easy to understand FAQ to help creating OSPO and running
• reference: OSS License FAQ Created by OpenChain Japan WG

  • Second Friday: OSS Strategy & OSS Hosting / Leader Motai
  • Fourth Friday: OSPO Launch & FAQ / Leader Owada
• ◇Action
  • Future activities listed above will be disclosed on the LF Event site (Kuwata)
  • Sharing GGI materials ( Koizumi, Kobota)
  • From now on, the meeting rules will be explained at the beginning of the meeting.

■proceedings

• ◇OSPO launch at a company and OSS document structure summary
  • a state of thirst for expert know-how, opinion, and advice
  • The OSS Licensing Institute site is useful
  • The problems that will be encountered during the OSPO startup phase,
  • I’d be happy if you could give me a Q & A or something.
• C) Some come from OpenChain,
  • What OpenChain policy can’t do, it gets it out of the lab
  • I doubt if I can say that the FAQ collection is for OSPO.
• Q) Do you want answers specifically tailored to your company?
  • Either you want a general answer or
• A) There are companies that offer support,
  • Some companies get support from C-class people, but software development takes a different form if the company is a small part of the business, so I want to know the case
• C)If it’s the former, I think other people might want it,
  • I thought the latter was a new point of view.
• C) The former is close to what you once suggested on Lightning Talk.
• C) You might want to join OpenChain
• C) It would be nice to have a forum to mainly discuss how to set up OSPO.
• C) Know-how to set up OSPO, in favor of creating best practices
  • I doubt if it can be compiled into a beautiful document, but I agree with the challenge of compiling it into an FAQ.
• C) It is interesting to use a brief, FAQ as an example.
  • The TODO line has a lot of long sentences.
  • It’s interesting to challenge yourself to put it all together in a short sentence.
• C) The checklist attached to the translated GGI may be close
• C) I think the words that speak of OSPO go off on their own and think of different things in each.
  • It would be interesting if we could converge and go, it would help to create a common understanding.
• C) If we can put it together, it will be useful when we explain to the high officials in each company.
• Q) Do you do FAQs by format, or do you argue and then summarize?
• A) How to extract Q first and then make a sentence before PPT
• Q) Classified as OSPO launch and strategic use, OSPO launch?
• C) If it’s about OSPO, it doesn’t have to be limited to the launch
• C) Wouldn’t it be that from being able to answer “yes” and “no” easily, it would become a Q that simply can’t be answered when strategy and other things get higher?
• C) OSPO activities come and go on stage with the same agenda
• C) Every organization has its own OSPO, but it’s worth trying
• C) I think we can make good things if we shape what we say in writing and discuss it again.
• Q) Are we talking about giving GGI feedback?
• A) We’re talking about a challenge to step away from GGI and try to sort through the FAQ
• C) a good challenge to try because it’s easy to get started
• C) There are some sentences in terms of the stance to be taken after the systematization of Europe, but I think it would be good to complement each other if we take the Japanese stance and approach.

■future plan

• OSS Business strategy area
• OSS hosting area
• C) First, I wanted to know how many people wanted to do it.
• So far, four have raised their hands.
• C) Wouldn’t it be better to divide the first and second half of the month by themes?
• Q) Is it not necessary to make a summary by adding only the month of reporting?
• A) You don’t have to get together to report, the organizer just has to report in English once every three months what you could do in Japan.
• C) It is better to decide who will read each.
• C) Week 2 OSS Strategy & Hosting / Leader Motai
• C) Week 4: OSPO launch / Leader Owada

★Publish the above to the LF Event site

• C) Sharing Materials (Daikoku)
• C) GGI materials also shared (Mr. Koizumi, Mr. Kobota)
