你好! OpenChain is in Simplified Chinese

SAN FRANCISCO, United States, August 3, 2017 — The OpenChain Project is delighted to announce that the release of OpenChain onboarding material in Simplified Chinese in collaboration with the Debian China community.

“This is our first release of OpenChain material in Chinese,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain Program Manager. “All credit is due to the hard work and community spirit of Yubin Ruan and Boyuan Yang from Debian. We worked together to provide a way for Chinese companies, projects and individuals to understand why OpenChain exists, what it does, and how it accomplishes its goals. Today is the first step among many in building a presence in the Chinese open source community.”

“Debian has an active community of translators around the world who help make sure everyone has access to open, modifiable software,” says Chris Lamb, Debian Project Leader. “Collaboration and contribution are at the core of our community and have been reflected in how we worked together with the OpenChain Project.”

The OpenChain Project identifies key recommended processes for effective open source management. The project builds trust in open source by making open source license compliance simpler and more consistent.

The OpenChain Specification defines a core set of requirements every quality compliance program must satisfy. The OpenChain Curriculum provides the educational foundation for open source processes and solutions, whilst meeting a key requirement of the OpenChain Specification. OpenChain Conformance allows organizations to display their adherence to these requirements.

The result is that open source license compliance becomes more predictable, understandable and efficient for participants of the software supply chain.

Organizations of all sizes are invited to review the OpenChain Project, to complete our free Online Self-Certification Questionnaire, and to join our community of trust.
