Keynote: Collaboration Beyond Code - Jilayne Lovejoy, Principal Open Source Counsel, ARM

Software is involved in all of today’s products. We all know that where there’s software, there is usually open source software. Gone are the days when one company could solely make a product itself. This results in an environment in which the same players are both competitors and allies dependent on each other.  Such dependence works best when it is based on trust and does not need to rely on information from behind  closed doors. OpenChain is an example of how collaborative models can be applied to create trust in the software supply chain and improve business practices. Jilayne will introduce OpenChain and show how collaboration goes beyond code.
