Q1 Mini-Summit

March 10th 15:00 UTC

What We Did:

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.
