On October 7th at 15:30 CEST OpenChains General Manager Shane Coughlan joined a panel entitled “Disentangle the Open Source License Jungle” at the Open Source Business Forum. He and the other panelists Hendrik Schoettle, Sasha Vidiborskiy, Dominik Tobschall and Heather Meeker discussed ways for start-ups to navigate the process of choosing an open source license.
Moorcrofts LLP and its sister compliance company Orcro Limited hosted the second meeting of the OpenChain UK Work Group via Zoom on Wednesday 30 September.
During this meeting the OpenChain UK Work Group established the program for OpenChain adoption, education and roll-out in the UK, in readiness for OpenChain’s imminent release as an official ISO standard later this year.
The OpenChain UK Work Group is free to join, and open to anyone (whether in the UK or otherwise) interested in finding out more about why companies as diverse as Arm, Google, Scania, Hitachi Data Systems, Toyota, Facebook, Uber and Microsoft are embracing OpenChain, as well as smaller companies like B2M Solutions and NewRoCo. The group also aims to help developers’ and organisations’ journey through open source compliance by providing a practical and accessible platform for anyone in the UK to quickly sync, share information and save time across all aspects of open source compliance.

On this episode we had Seth Newberry from Joint Development Foundation join the call and explain how the new Community Specification on GitHub can help projects prepare for building sustainable standards. We also took a moment to go through the ever-increasing OpenChain Reference library. There is a ton of material there that we are currently improving and making easier to discover ahead of our formal ISO publication in a couple of weeks.
This is OpenChain Webinar #12, released on 2020-09-17.
