This webinar covered the concept of preparing for adoption of ISO 5230 via readiness assessments. This approach can provide a company with a structured way of allocating resources to improve their open source management.
This webinar covered a lot of ground with open hardware, new open source automation from Korea and methods of using SPDX with the Yocto Project. It provided a solid way to “take the pulse” of a certain moment in open source governance.
In this webinar we had two great talks and a very active Q&A. First we had Dr. Till Jaeger from JBB Rechtsanwälte on ‘How to bring an ancient development project into compliance best practices.’ This was followed by Nicole Pappler from AlektoMetis ‘OpenChain ISO 5230 and Software Quality Management.’ Check out the full recording below.
This webinar explored the variants of the GPLv2 that exist and have existed throughout the years, highlighting the existence of small changes in details that may be relevant to some parties.
This webinar explored how ISO 5230, the International Standard for open source license compliance, is being used by Venture Capital firms to assess the quality of corporate governance they encounter.
This webinar unpacked the complexity and solutions for addressing licensing across a large code-base like the Linux Kernel, and it explained how ISO 5230 has been applied to the security domain by some parties in the supply chain.
This webinar explained how to help with the development of OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230, including contributing new ideas, or potentially expanding aspects of its use. As an open project, ensuring everyone can engage easily is a key part of our culture.
We heard from Michael G. Poe, a newcomer to the world of Open Source Compliance and current Sales Manager with FossID. He shared his thoughts on his surprising journey from consumer products to software, and how the underlying principles of the open source community have enabled him along the way.
Michael also touched on what he believes can be some of the challenges to the frictionless adoption of OpenChain conformance. And lastly, based on his experiences and learning agenda thus far, what are some areas that can be improved when it comes to Open Source, Compliance, and the tech industry in general.
