Our focus during this call was the small company playbook here:

The work we did on this playbook substantially refined the approach in the early parts of the document and will be merged into the other documents (for medium and large companies).

Your contributions and comments are most welcome. This is a great opportunity to brief and encourage strategic management understanding and support of effective, efficient compliance.

The OpenChain Taiwan Work Group held its fall 2022 meetup in collaboration with the Open Culture Foundation (OCF). Singing and her team have long supported our work and we are delighted to continue this collaboration as physical meetings become possible again. We look forward to hosting an international meeting in Taipei in the near future.

For those wondering how the meeting on the 26th was structured you will find the agenda below. You will note that our long-standing excellent relationship between the Taiwan and Japan Work Groups continues to pay dividends. We had the good fortune of welcoming community members from Toshiba and Toyota, and in addition we had a great talk to end the day from KKCompany, a leading media technology group in Asia.

Kamino San and his staff at Mercari kindly hosted an informal gathering for the OpenChain Japan Work Group on the 24th of August. We had the additional pleasure of welcoming Keith Bergelt, CEO of Open Invention Network, to the meeting and benefiting from his knowledge of the current intellectual property landscape for open source software.

We are still in the process of spinning up larger gatherings in Japan as COVID restrictions lift, so we look forward to building on this event, and gradually bringing our whole work group together for discussions and networking.
