Open Source Leadership Summit 2017

SW360 is an open source catalogue for software components that let organizations manage third-party and own software components throughout the entire life cycle. It is built for easy integration with other tools and data sources, such as license scanners, code scanners, static code analysis or build infrastructure.

It's currently an Eclipse incubator project under the EPLv2 (https://www.github.com/sw360), it is highly customizable, let organizations keep their confidential product development data on premises, and prevents them from becoming dependent on a single vendor. Siemens Corporate Technology and Bosch Software Innovations are core contributors to the SW360 project and use it extensively within their respective large engineering organizations.

The audience is everyone who is involved in managing compliance and legal issues in software project and product development (e.g. project leads, architects, compliance officers).

The talk will introduce Open Source tooling for Open Source Management and therefore allows them to reflect on their current practices and possibilities for improvement.
