The OpenChain Project has been on Slack for a while but with relatively low visibility. As an outcome of a recent global work team meeting we decided to change that. Help us scale from 50 regular participants to our usual typical global group of 150 or more!

Nanjing Fujitsu Nanda Software Technology Co., Ltd. (herein after called ‘FNST’) has announced conformance with OpenChain ISO 5230, the International Standard for open source license compliance. This standard defines the key requirements of a quality open source compliance program, and helps to both reduce errors and increase efficiency across the global supply chain.
“FNST is the second company in China to adopt ISO 5230,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “This underlines the commitment of the local team in ensuring optimal open source intellectual property management, and the commitment of the larger Fujitsu group to ongoing excellence in process management. We are delighted to continue our expansion into China, and look forward to further announcements in the coming months.”
“We are greatly honored to be the first overseas subsidiary of Fujitsu for adopting ISO 5230.” said Wang Chunping, General Manager of Cloud Platform Division of FNST. “For over twenty years, we have been engaging in the development of Fujitsu’s product suites of IT infrastructure, which involves extensive use of open source. Therefore, realizing and ensuring intellectual property management is the most important for our organization and supply chain. The practice of OpenChain ISO 5230 in FNST can effectively strengthen our capabilities to provide more trustworthy services to our customers.”
“We are delighted to welcome FNST as another OpenChain conformant member in Fujitsu Group. FNST, established more than twenty years ago as part of Fujitsu’s intense involvement in advanced software technologies, is an active contributor and user of OSS, and plays a prominent role in OSS-related business of Platform Software Business Unit and Group”, says Toshihiko Yaguchi, SVP, Head of Platform Software Business Unit, Fujitsu Limited. “FNST’s OpenChain conformance underlines how Fujitsu applies effective and efficient processes for managing OSS and is indicative of our strategic plans for future use and contribution to OSS.

About the OpenChain Project
OpenChain began when a group of open source compliance professionals met in a conference lounge and chatted about how so much duplicative, redundant open source license compliance work was being done inefficiently in the software supply chain simply. They realized that while each company did the same work behind the scenes in a different manner the output for downstream recipients could not realistically be relied on because there was no visibility into the process that generated the output.
The answer the early principles of this discussion arrived at was to standardize open source compliance, make it transparent and build trust across the ecosystem. The project began as outreach to the community with the idea of a new standard for open source license compliance with slides titled, “When Conformity is Innovative.” A growing community quickly recognized the value of this approach and contributed to the nascent collaboration soon named The OpenChain Project.

This webinar covered three major items:
This is OpenChain Webinar #20, released on 2021-03-16.
First Hour: Our Specification Work Group worked on an optional security support document for OpenChain ISO 5230. This took the form of an explanatory document illustrating OpenChain usage in the context of security.
Second Hour: Our Education Work Group worked on finalizing the OpenChain online course. The focus will be on merging all remaining comments with the current document. We also locked down the “Supplier Education Pack” containing basic supplier education, OpenChain introduction, and our reference training material.
Third Hour: We reviewed the current “state of the union” in open source automation based on the experience and knowledge of the OpenChain Reference Tooling Work Group. We identified the “pain points” for interoperability between various open source tools for open source compliance.
07:00 PST / 15:00 GMT / 16:00 CET / 20:30 IST
/ 23:00 CST / 00:00 KST / 00:00 JST
