Fukuchi San from Sony has provided us with a draft outlining where the various sections of the OpenChain Specification fit into company process workflows. This is building on a document that was previously available for OpenChain Specification 1.2. The goal is to provide a quick framing of our industry standard for organizations considering adoption, considering conformance, or managing these activities.
We would like to collect feedback on this document as it is likely to disseminate widely throughout our community in various languages over time. Email our General Manager (scoughlan@linuxfoundation.org) or any of our mailing lists to provide comments and suggestions.
The 10th OpenChain Project interview is live! Meet Alex, who makes sure our collection of international activities are recorded and fit together, and who brought previous interviews to publication.

Stefan from Fiducia & GAD IT announced yesterday that work is well advanced on a German translation of our Supplier Education Leaflet. Originally created by a sub-group of the OpenChain Japan Work Group, the supplier education leaflet is available in Japanese, English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, as well as in Vietnamese as a draft.
Stefan’s full announcement and call for support
As discussed yesterday in Nuremberg during our kick-off meeting of the German OpenChain Working Group, I would like to reach out for support regarding finalisation of a translation of the Open Chain Supplier Leaflet into German.
You can see the current state-of-work at
https://github.com/OCSpecGermanTranslation/OpenChain-SuppierLeaflet-GermanTranslation/blob/master/supplier-leaflet/de/OpenChain-GeneralGuideline-E-0608_DE.pdf
The layout is not yet as complete as in the original – I would like to finalise the design after having sorted out the final German text. Thus, in a first round, quality checking of the text would be a good point to start 🙂
My ‚request-for-contribution‘ to you, if you currently want to / can support:
Could you please compare the current German translation draft to the English version at
https://github.com/OCSpecGermanTranslation/OpenChain-SuppierLeaflet-GermanTranslation/blob/master/supplier-leaflet/supplier-leaflet-1.0-en.pdf
and provide corrections and suggestions for improvement? Please feel free to direct any comments to my address Stefan.thanheiser@gmx.de.
(Should any of you want to go deeper: I ported the document from the proprietary Adobe format I found at Github (sorry, if there should have been any other format there -maybe I did not dig deep enough into the directory structure) to a format of the open source tool Scribus – why not use OSS tools when writing about OSS? ;-).
The “scribus source file” for the PDF can be found at
https://github.com/OCSpecGermanTranslation/OpenChain-SuppierLeaflet-GermanTranslation/blob/master/supplier-leaflet/de/OpenChain-GeneralGuideline-E-0608_DE.sla
and can be edited using Scribus v1.5.5.)
Thank you in advance for your support and best regards,
Stefan
