31. Why do we keep holding the events? Interacting with people matters in open source. Efficient to deliver a message several times. (The virtual environments made this really good.) There’s a limitation of sharing the information via documents.
32. Where are we going? The future plans
33. Wait, isn’t that enough yet? - Well, technically no. Because… - LINE engineering is growing, not even its quantity, but also in its diversity. - The industry changes very fast. As their strategy changes, a new license policy comes out. - All of these changes could be risks or could be obstacles to other activities. - Therefore in our point of view, this is the right time to make things right.
34. OpenChain Project To the better, and more reliable Open Source culture - ISO 5230 international standard for Open Source compliance - Linux Foundation project - https://www.openchainproject.org
35. OpenChain Project Why governanvce, and why now? - Using the Open Source is the most common start point to meet them. So comply the license could be the biggest part of our job. - OpenChina project doesn’t only cover license compliance. It also considers how well we cooperate together in this industry. The mainly important is to cooperate with others, other companies and other open source communities. - Copyright is on the ground of the open source. Open Source license compliance is the fundamental way to respect the open source developers.
