This mini-summit will explore how standards and process management are driving the next phase of sustainable, efficient open source use in organizations. We will discuss emerging trends or concerns in areas like AI and SBOM quality, and we will also discuss the future development of our existing standards (ISO/IEC 5230 for license compliance and ISO/IEC 18974 for security assurance). Attendees will come away with increased knowledge of OpenChain activities, more generally of open source business process management, and with the ability to apply that learning to their own companies and projects.

AGENDA:
Current Compliance

• OpenChain Standards for Process Management and Risk Reduction
• Industry Specific and Cross-Industry SBOM Quality Management
• Understand Automation - Open Source Tools for Open Source Compliance

Future Compliance

• AI BOM Compliance in the Supply Chain
• Mitigating Risk for Securing Information in a Post Quantum Computing (PQC) World

CHAOSS is a Linux Foundation project focused on creating metrics, metrics models, and software to better understand open source community health on a global scale. CHAOSS is an acronym for Community Health Analytics in Open Source Software. Open source software is critically important for both individuals and organizations. This importance raises questions about how we understand the health of the open-source projects we rely on. Unhealthy projects can have negative impacts on the community involved in the project as well as organizations that rely on such projects.

At CHAOSScon, you will learn about open source project health metrics and tools used by open source projects, communities, engineering teams, OSPOs, Universities, and scientific / research software to track and analyze their open source work. This mini-conference will provide a venue for discussing open source project health, CHAOSS updates, use cases, and hands-on activities for developers, community managers, project managers, and anyone interested in measuring open source project health. We will also share insights about the activities happening across the CHAOSS project.

The travel retail industry is evolving to focus on delivering comprehensive experiences rather than just individual services. This shift necessitates enhanced interoperability among travel providers and retailers. Current protocols, rooted in standards from the 1960s, are outdated and insufficient for modern needs. The industry requires a new approach to handle travel offers as digital retail products. Addressing these challenges can unlock significant economic opportunities by automating travel arrangements and providing access to previously excluded suppliers. Following the success of employing open-source practices in solving similar issues, the LF Open Travel Foundation is being formed.
