The OpenChain Education Work Group and LF Training have collaborated on Introduction to Open Source License Compliance Management (LFC193), a free course with individual certification is now available.

Who Is It For

This course is intended for developers, project managers and executive decision makers who already know the basics of what open source software is and how copyrights work and are ready to take the next step towards building a formal compliance program for their organization.

What You’ll Learn

This course provides a reference example of how an open source compliance program should be structured. It is designed to be used in the context of OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230:2020 but can be used for any open source compliance program. The course provides knowledge from the basics of intellectual property through to key concepts of an open source review. It is based on real-world experience and focuses on outcomes that are directly applicable to product and service deployment. The outcome of this course will be a clear understanding of how to use compliance as business optimization, reducing resource use and increasing efficiency.

What It Prepares You For

This course enables you to deal with the basics of open source license compliance management. You will be able to assess the current status of your company and begin planning improvements to processes. If you are a project manager, engineer or management personnel with a responsibility for architecture and strategy, this course will be particularly useful.

Subject: [openchain] OpenChain Person of the Year: Mark Gisi

[Please note: This e-mail is from an EXTERNAL e-mail address]

As we head into the holiday season I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for an exceptional year. The OpenChain Project has accomplished incredible things, from altering the status quo in the tooling landscape (and making it better) through to preparing our first online training course. Too many people to count assisted in this process. However, I wanted to give special thanks and acknowledgement to Mark Gisi, chairperson of the Specification Work Group. This year he lead an effort to conclusively bridge the gap between OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230 and the security domain.

This work was far more than speculative: companies around the world began using our ISO/IEC standard to accomplish security goals, especially in light of recent international developments. The situation was both supported and challenged by the market reality of deployment before full community cohesion. For large companies this is never a serious concern, but for small companies trying to get up-to-speed it is our job (and our pleasure) to make sure they can match their peers, their suppliers and their customers as soon as possible.

Mark took this all in his stride and coordinated a multi-month effort with exceptional consensus to produce our Security Assurance Reference Guide in August. Since that date the guide has been available to all parties for review, and Mark further shepherded feedback from that review to determine if updates were needed in the near term. They were not, because you all hit it out of the ballpark, and we got this artifact to market at precisely the right time to address topics like the US Executive Order.

Mark, thank you.

Now, Mark is far from the only person who has done exceptional things. I want to particularly thank Balakrishna for shepherding our first online training course (with certification) through reviews by many, many parties. We go live on the 16th December, tomorrow, and change the market in that direction. The course, of course, is free. I also want to thank Oliver, who has been running the OpenChain Reference Tooling Work Group on a breathtaking schedule of bi-weekly meetings. The sheer amount of information collected and experience shared eclipses anything done before in that domain. And finally in this list (but not in terms of amazing contribution), I want to thank Max for running the OpenChain Automation Case Study, which took all the ingredients around the world, and showed how to make them turnkey, how to many them work in the supply chain, and how to contextualize it as business intelligence.

See you all tomorrow at the Open Compliance Summit, and if not then, soon.

Regards

Shane
