Build and maintain Civil Infrastructure Platform by using open source projects

The Linux Foundation launched the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP) project to develop base layer, open source industrial-grade software for civil infrastructure projects, the CIP supports electrical and power grids, railway, shipping, and transportation systems, among other applications that are imperative to human life. Currently, there're several active workgroups in this project, such as Linux kernel, real-time, testing, security, and software update.

The obligations posed by the open source software are imperative to comply. Therefore, the OpenChain Project defines the key requirements of a quality open source compliance program, which provides a standard to build trust between companies in the supply chain while reducing internal resource costs.

In this presentation, SZ Lin will share the participation experiences and project status in CIP and OpenChain project accordingly.
