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.

Seth Newberry from the Joint Development Foundation joined us to provide an overview of what they do, how it impacts OpenChain, and what it means for other open source and related projects moving forward. As always we had some great comments and questions, and we look forward to getting more over time via our mailing lists and meetings!
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)
Abstract: OpenChain standardizes license compliance requirements around the use of open source software in the supply chain. Customers purchasing from an OpenChain compliant company know that the software has been developed in line with a set of documented and tested procedures and that all the relevant meta data (SBOMs and compliance notices) is available. So what does that mean for you?
Check out the webinar to learn why companies like Scania (Volkswagen group), Cisco, ARM, Facebook, Uber, Google, Microsoft, Sony and Qualcomm rely on OpenChain. We’ll cover:
•The history of OpenChain, steps to compliance and overall benefits •How OpenChain scales, and works for companies large and small •What happens when the 2.1 specification becomes an ISO standard in September 2020

Thanks to the efforts of Haksung and team we now have a recording of the recent OpenChain Korea Work Team meeting:
This meeting was held in Korean and will be useful to help inform and encourage companies in the region considering or working on adoption of our industry standard for open source compliance.
This webinar was a live walk-through of the Conformance Questionnaire with example solutions to each question required for OpenChain conformance. It was designed to be immediately useful to any organization considering or undergoing OpenChain conformance.
