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.
Our newsletter contains some of the highlights from the last month of activity in the project. Plenty more happened. Check out the full stream here: https://www.openchainproject.org/news
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.
In our biggest webinar to date, Jari Koivisto talked about Open Source Issues Remediation, Gary O’Neall talked about Community Bridge and SPDX Online Tools and David Wheeler talked about CII Best Practices (the project equivalent of the OpenChain standard). Check out the full recording and the slides below.

本日は、12/19にNECで開催された、OpenChainJapanWGの全体会合をレポートします。 会合のタイムテーブルは12/6の島さんの記事に整理されて投稿頂いています。 （Today I report to the OpenChainJapanWG meeting on 19 Dec. in NEC corporation)
実は、事前にアジェンダを公開して、オープンに参加者を募るのってとても大事なんです。競合同士の会社が集まって業界標準を作っていくので、独禁法に抵触する可能性があるんですね。当日も、こんな感じで独禁法に関して周知がなされます。 （Open discussion is very important, because we heve to avoid antitrust risks)
