First Hour: Our Specification Work Group worked on an optional security support document for OpenChain ISO 5230. This took the form of an explanatory document illustrating OpenChain usage in the context of security.
Second Hour: Our Education Work Group worked on finalizing the OpenChain online course. The focus will be on merging all remaining comments with the current document. We also locked down the “Supplier Education Pack” containing basic supplier education, OpenChain introduction, and our reference training material.
Third Hour: We reviewed the current “state of the union” in open source automation based on the experience and knowledge of the OpenChain Reference Tooling Work Group. We identified the “pain points” for interoperability between various open source tools for open source compliance.
WhiteSource will host a webinar at 11:00 BST on March 11th covering the use of Software Component Analysis in the context of OpenChain ISO 5230. Martin Callinan from Source Code Control will also provide perspective from his client engagement.
From the WhiteSource site:
In this webinar, our experts will present how the OpenChain Specification evolved to become an ISO standard, and will discuss the importance of choosing the right SCA tool for organizations to adopt so they can focus on value-added activities that drive the success of their businesses.
