Automation plays a huge part in scaling open source compliance in the supply chain. The availability of open source automation for open source compliance is an area where the OpenChain Project has an extremely active work group (check out their mailing list here), so we were interested to note the release of FOSSLight by LG Electronics in 2021. This is a framework for open source compliance used by LG Electronics, LINE and ETRI. It goes beyond scanning and offers a management hub, all at zero cost, and with an open community around it.
FOSSlight and LG Electronics have been awarded the Social DNA Innovation Award 2022 for this work. Well done Kyoungae and all the team!

Fukuchi San of Sony, one of the key people behind the OpenChain Japan Work Group, has received the ‘NAOPF OSS award 2022‘ from the Japan OSS Promotion Forum. This award was announced on the 24th of November 2022 during the 20th Northeast Asia OSS Promotion Forum.
Fukuchi San is one of the founders of the OpenChain Japan Work Group and has been a tireless contributor to both the local and international community for many years. His formal resume is on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/hiroyuki-fukuchi-oss/) but his most important resume is visible across his community contributions on our calls, mailing lists and elsewhere.
The OpenChain Project is driven by the community around it, and figures like Fukuchi San have been critical to building the energy and atmosphere to help people work together. His award is well-deserved and is a welcome example of how contributions are acknowledged by the broader open source ecosystem.
Thank you Fukuchi San!
