OpenChain
Capabilities for Open Source Compliance
Understanding the OpenChain Capability Model
Openchain is a comprehensive set of requirements allowing to cope with the open source compliance challenge. Recently it even has been accepted as ISO standard. However, compliance in todays world is not possible without tool support. To get a grip on the different tools, understand what they can do and where their limitations are, the OC tooling workgroup decided to develop a capability model. This model outlines all required capabilities to cope with the open source challenge and allows to map the functionality of tools. Thus the model can be seen as a map through the djungle of tools.
In this talk, Jan will introduce the model as well as briefly outline the most relevant capabilities. Links to further resources as well as first maps will be provided.

OpenHarmony is a new operating system stewarded by Huawei's Open Source Technology Center, with Array as advisor. Having prioritized compliance, governance and transparency, OpenChain was the natural backdrop for it. Rather than embracing open source only to exploit it, having transparency and compliance as a last minute afterthought, OSTC has made them central pillars from the very beginning. We seek the opportunity to present you how the goal of OpenChain conformance helped.

Why is it so hard to detect the licensing and copyright information of source code? Because it is a tedious and often confusing task for developers to provide this information. The REUSE project changes that! With three simple steps, it makes adding and reading licensing and copyright information easy for both humans and machines. This presentation will guide you through the REUSE best practices and presents how to make clear licensing simple.

In this talk, James Curtis, lead developer at OpusVL, will explain the complex compliance challenge faced when working on a variety of projects for different customers, each having overlapping and separate areas of Open Source code. He will explain the approach taken to automating the process by connecting up the software release pipeline through Continuous Integration (CI) tooling to deliver OpenChain compliance reporting. This will cover the path from developer and version control through ...
