Our Work Is Made Possible By Our Platinum Members:
The Platinum Members of the OpenChain Project each have one voting member on our Governing Board and our Steering Committee. They provide strategic guidance and financial support for the project, and they make the final vote on proposed changes to the industry standards that we create.
They Support A Broad Community:
The OpenChain Project has an extensive global community of over 1,000 companies collaborating to make the supply chain quicker, more effective and more efficient.
We Maintain Standards
- OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230
The international standard for open source license compliance programs - OpenChain ISO/IEC 18974
The industry standard for open source security assurance programs
We Develop Best Practices
Our community develops best practices to reduce friction and increase efficiency across all aspects of open source process management. Everyone is invited to be part of what we do. There are no restrictions to join our mailing lists, our calls and most of our events.
We Are Carefully Focused
The OpenChain Project is focused on commercial and non-commercial open source process management in the supply chain. It is not involved in other aspects of government policy or political issues. Similarly, we do not develop software or work on different topics around open source.
Learn About Our Project Structure
To help orientate you in our community let’s talk about the structure. The OpenChain Project is fiscally supported by its platinum members but it is a large global community interacting and sharing. Our community comes up with ideas, creates solutions and prepares everything to help improve the supply chain. We do have some formal structures (board votes, steering committee votes), but the vast majority of our work is organic and based on stakeholders in the supply chain working together to address challenges.
To be part of our community is simple. Join our mailing lists, turn up on our calls, and share your views. The majority of our community (and all our board members) are user companies of open source, but we have an extensive vendor partner program that can provide commercial support in our domain. In this way, we balance solutions for challenges based on what is best for companies using open source, but we do not neglect to ensure that you can get legal, consultancy, automation and certification support if you need it.
