OpenChain @ OSS North America Virtual Event – Open Source in ISO: Building the First LF Standard in Fourteen Years and What It Means for You – July 1st
CP1 Associates is the latest OpenChain Conformant organization. This is a UK-based company with an extensive history in the use of open source.
“CP1 provides consultancy and CIO services to organizations across the UK,” says Chris Puttick, Founder of CP1 Associates. “As with most companies, we make extensive use of open source, and adoption of the OpenChain standard for open source compliance helps both to ensure we have the key requirements for such a program in place and harmonization with the larger global software community.”
“Companies like CP1 Associates are an extremely important part of the OpenChain ecosystem,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “One of the key tenants of our industry standard is that it is equally applicable and useful to small organizations and multinational conglomerates. As we finalize our ISO publication, functionally identical to the current OpenChain standard, we are seeking to underline this fact in the simplest, most practical way: adoption.”
“It’s great news that CP1 has become part of the OpenChain conformant family,” says Andrew Katz, Moorcrofts. “It shows that OpenChain is flexible enough that the specification can be adopted by smaller companies, and puts CP1 in pole position when it comes to pitching for work from the growing roster of international companies who are seeking OpenChain conformance as a key factor in appointing their suppliers.”

In this webinar we covered “OpenChain China, Japan, Korea – a discussion on community building” featuring short interviews with Jerry (China), Haksung (Korea) and Fukuchi San (Japan) about local community activity. Our goal was to share knowledge on what has worked, what has not, and how momentum can be kept in these unusual times. We hope these lessons will assist our fellows in Europe and North America while also illustrating some of the key successes in Asia.
This is part of the bi-weekly OpenChain Webinar series. Every two weeks we have international speakers covering a wide range of topics related to practical open source compliance challenges, solutions and considerations.

A *lot* of people in our community are speaking about OpenChain at meetings, events and through social media. To help with their communication the OpenChain Project publishes a regularly updated slide deck with speaker notes. You can find the latest version here.
This time we explored Software Heritage, an initiative whose goal is to collect, preserve, and share software code, and continued our discussion of containers from the perspective of scalable compliance.
Our speakers
Roberto Di Cosmo, Director at Software Heritage, explained why this initiative collects and preserves software in source code form with the understanding that software embodies key technical and scientific knowledge that humanity cannot afford to risk losing. His presentation helped provide insight into how such initiatives can link into activities like compliance automation in open source compliance, an area of immediate interest to the OpenChain community.
Scott Peterson, Senior Commercial Counsel at Red Hat, talked about how we can make compliance scalable in a container world. This talk will build on other recent presentations with a particular focus on efficiency and portability, with a “registry-native” approach to source code availability. Scott explained how this does not require updating container registries to include source code specific features, but instead can exploit features that are already contained in current registries.
