OpenAnolis announced that it has met the OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230 standard. The OpenAnolis community is a non-profit open source community formed by enterprises, institutions, universities, scientific research institutions, non-profit organizations, individuals, etc. on the basis of voluntariness, equality, openness, and collaboration.
The OpenAnolis community has always attached great importance to the construction of security and compliance capabilities. In terms of infrastructure, R&D processes and tools, the community has made comprehensive and in-depth investments, including the construction of software supply chain security infrastructure, support for SBOM lists, and the construction of license compliance systems. These capabilities provide solid security guarantees for the community’s open source activities, ensuring that they are carried out smoothly in a safe and compliant environment.
Ma Tao, Chairman of OpenAnolis, said: “We are pleased to announce the OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230 certification. Open source has always been the source of innovation for the OpenAnolis Community. The OpenAnolis Community will firmly embrace open source, contribute to open source, and contribute to the field of operating systems in the AI era. This certification is a very important milestone in the construction of OpenAnolis’s open source compliance capabilities, and it is also a new starting point. The OpenAnolis Community will continue to invest and improve in the direction of security compliance to ensure the community’s security compliance level.”
Liu Dapeng, head of the OpenAnolis Community Standardization SIG, said that the OpenAnolis Community’s OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230 certification is of great significance to the development of the community. Standards and community open source complement each other, promote and enhance each other, and play an important role in building an open, interoperable, prosperous and innovative technology ecosystem. In the future, the Standardization SIG will continue to work with community ecosystem partners to jointly formulate the engineering standards of the OpenAnolis Community and ensure that community products meet relevant standard requirements.
