The OpenChain Project has built two open source process management standards (ISO/IEC 5230 and ISO/IEC 18974) and deployed them across the open source supply chain. While OpenChain was the first Linux Foundation project in 14 years to produce an ISO standard, it is far from the last. During the 2023~2024 period, we saw growing engagement around Joint Development Foundation and committee discussions around standards or specifications in other LF projects. This talk will consolidate OpenChain's lessons learned in creating, submitting and deploying open source standards. It will help projects at any stage in the development lifecycle of specifications, including those only just considering this option for long-term impact. It will also help people with a specific interest in a more trusted supply chain to get more involved in OpenChain, building on our existing work or participating in new potential standards. Our optics will be on the legal, risk and compliance side due to the nature of the OpenChain Project's mission for a more trusted supply chain, but the core material will be equally applicable to technical, code or other projects working on this topic.
