Goal
Certify OpenChain (ISO/IEC 5230) compliance for the erlang/otp GitHub project.
Impact
Obtaining an OpenChain Certification (ISO/IEC 5230) for the Erlang project would demonstrate that its open source compliance processes meet a globally recognized standard, thereby instilling confidence among current and potential adopters that the project maintains robust and consistent license and governance practices. This heightened trust can lower perceived risk for commercial organizations considering Erlang, accelerating corporate adoption and collaboration. In turn, the certification signals to contributors and the wider community that Erlang is a well-managed and future-proof platform, aligning with best practices in open source compliance and providing a solid foundation for long-term project sustainability.
Deliverables
- Self-Certification of the Erlang project.
