This process for partner application is straightforward. Applicants should prepare a three slide (or more) deck explaining the organization, what services they plan to offer, and how they intend to engage with the OpenChain community more broadly. This will go before an ad hoc board review committee. The deck can be sent to our helpdesk for processing.

The OpenChain Project is keen to ensure that any company, anywhere can adopt OpenChain easily on their own. At the same time we are always seeking to reduce barriers to entry for our industry standard, especially for companies that lack internal resources to complete OpenChain Conformance. This is where the OpenChain Partner Program comes in.

OpenChain Partners are law firms, consultancies and certification authorities with experience in open source and engagement with the OpenChain Project community. OpenChain Partners may use the OpenChain trademarks if they meet the formal requirements of our Partner Program and are accepted by the Steering Committee and Governing Board of the project.

Users can approach any of the partners listed on our website with an expectation of excellent service provision. We seek partners with a focus on excellence and a positive, thoughtful approach focused on building long-term relationships. You can learn more by contacting our helpdesk.
