We will hold our regular OpenChain Bi-Weekly Webinar at 14:00 UTC today. Our speaker will be Martin Callinan from Source Code Control Limited on OpenChain ISO 5230 in the field of Venture Capital. This is an emerging space for us, but one that appears to offer similar promise to existing use of OpenChain in Mergers and Acquisitions.
