The next OpenChain UK Work Group meeting takes place virtually via Zoom on Thursday 30 September from 14:00 – 15:30 BST.

A full agenda will be launched prior to the meeting, which will be an interactive session with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and discuss OpenChain adoption and best practice. There has been a huge amount going on in the world of OpenChain, with a raft of new, high-profile conformance announcements, new optional extensions to the standard covering security and community engagement, and increased emphasis on the ease of use of tooling.

OpenChain’s General Manager Shane Coughlan will be joining us, and bringing us up to speed on new initiatives intended to make existing compliance tools like FOSSology and ScanCode easier to use.
