We launch of the OpenChain automation case study about using open source tools for open source compliance at 12:00 UTC on Wednesday (today). This is a rolling case-study between September and December 2021. It will be the largest case study ever undertaken in this space. All welcome. No registration.
https://zoom.us/j/4377592799

September 22nd (today):
We explore a new graphical tool from Facebook/TNG to make open source tooling easier to use.
* Our real-world demo will show ORT calling ScanCode in a clean, simple way.
* We will have an interview about how the graphical interface was designed.
• September 29th, we will have an interview about how the tool internals was designed.
• October 13th, we do a deep dive on using ORT via the tool + deep dive into ORT internals engineering.
• October 27th, we do a deep dive on using TERN via the tool + deep dive into TERN internals engineering.
• November 10th, we do a “how this tool can work with TERN, ORT and ScanOSS in the real-world.”
• November 24th, we do a “fake supply chain” showing code going through multiple scanners and maintaining SPDX Lite integrity.
• December 8th, Facebook Usage Case Study.
• December 16th, A recap of the whole open source tooling eco-system at Open Compliance Summit 2021.

In broad strokes:
(1) we decided to make it *very* clear this was not about variants of
OpenChain ISO 5230 but rather about where companies can go next after
adoption
(2) we decided to pull back from “quality grading” by the project
and instead providing case studies and examples to help inspire companies

This sounds like a sane approach to me.

Check out the latest (and dramatically overhauled) edit here:

After opening the slide deck today, I was wondering what the complaints were
against :)

The slides look OK to me at the time of this writing.


cheers,

One of the core guiding principles for the OpenChain Specification is to focus on the what and why of compliance (and avoid the how and when). This is highlighted in the introduction of the spec. That is avoid being prescriptive.

It was always understood that the OpenChain Project would foster the creation of various materials around best practices to educate how other companies achieve conformance. That is - to describe the prescriptive ways of others. This has not been done with any formal structure yet within the project. The proposed levels approach is the first attempt to do this which I commend. What I disagree with is mixing the specification to tightly with prescriptive ways because it undermines a core principle and purpose of the specification.

I suggest we create a complimentary best practice program/guide that encourages companies to consider various prescriptive levels. That is, have Best Practice Levels (bronze, silver, gold, …) but DON’T confuse it with the spec (which is: about what and why, practice neutral, non-prescriptive, …). For instance, have a program with its own logo (for example - see attached)

Dear all

During a recent OpenChain Japan Planning meeting we discussed the challenge of “next steps” in OpenChain ISO 5230 conformance. Our initial goal of adoption in the supply chain is well underway. Our basic concept of “raising all the boats” is working. But now it is time to talk in more detail about “raising the boats to where?”

From its launch in October 2016 until today, the OpenChain Project has been based on the concept of continual improvement (or Kaizen). We can now provide a “map” to help guide companies in this process, and to help customer companies judge the sophistication of suppliers who have adopted OpenChain ISO 5230.

Attached is a slide-deck exploring how this can be done. We will be discussing this in the OpenChain bi-weekly global work team meeting today (Monday 23rd of August) at 14:00 UTC. All welcome. No registration.
