Our annual Japan Work Group Advent Calendar is now underway. This is perhaps the largest annual community activity around our global project, with over 20 articles published by contributors from a wide range of companies. Posts often have English summaries, and this is a great way to check out some of the key Far Eastern news around OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230:2020. Huge thanks to Watanabe San, Fukuchi San, Owada San, and everyone else who makes this happen!
A Message From Watanabe San:
Hello. If this is your first visit, nice to meet you. Thank you very much for your attention to this article. Welcome to OpenChain Japan WG Advent Calendar 2021!! We, OpenChain Japan WG, is a Japanese community whose activities involve Open Source Software (OSS) compliance. This is our third advent calendar, continuing from 2020 and 2021. We will deliver to you a series of 25 articles about our activities of this year and topics of open source. And the same as last year, we will write every article both in Japanese and English and deliver them to everyone in the world. We would be very happy if you became a little interested in our activities and the importance of OSS compliance from reading our articles. I hope you like it!!
As the beginning of this advent calendar, let’s start with a comment from Shane Coughlan, the General Manager of OpenChain Project…

With this milestone we have the Supplier Education Pack available in nine languages.
This webinar provided a case-study around a long-lasting concern around “copyright trolling” that faced the open source community for around a decade. It explored the beginnings, the lessons learned, and what may come next in this context.
