Hallo! OpenChain is in German
SAN FRANCISCO, United States, August 24, 2017 — The OpenChain Project is delighted to announce that the release of the official German translation of OpenChain Specification 1.1.
“Today’s addition continues to build out OpenChain in major languages,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain Program Manager. “It cannot be overstated how important localization is to ensure barriers to entry are reduced. OpenChain is extremely fortunate to have an active, dedicated global community with tremendous energy and enthusiasm. Thanks to their hard work our core material is being made available to countless thousands of potential participants.”
The OpenChain Project identifies key recommended processes for effective open source management. The project builds trust in open source by making open source license compliance simpler and more consistent.
The OpenChain Specification defines a core set of requirements every quality compliance program must satisfy. The OpenChain Curriculum provides the educational foundation for open source processes and solutions, whilst meeting a key requirement of the OpenChain Specification. OpenChain Conformance allows organizations to display their adherence to these requirements.
The result is that open source license compliance becomes more predictable, understandable and efficient for participants of the software supply chain.
Organizations of all sizes are invited to review the OpenChain Project, to complete our free Online Self-Certification Questionnaire, and to join our community of trust.
