What we're working on

Active engagement with the open source ecosystem — from emerging standards to regional community building.

Community

OpenChain Working Group — Australia

Establishing a regional working group to drive OpenChain / ISO 5230 awareness and adoption across Australian enterprises.

Emerging Standard

AI SBOM & Model Transparency

As AI models increasingly depend on open source components and datasets, traditional SBOMs fall short. We're developing AI SBOM frameworks that capture model provenance, training data lineage, licence obligations for model weights, and dependency chains across the ML pipeline — helping organisations meet emerging regulatory requirements.

Research

AI Governance Frameworks

Researching the intersection of AI model licensing, open source compliance, and responsible AI governance for enterprise contexts across the APAC region.

Education

APAC Compliance Outreach

Building partnerships with enterprises, universities, and government bodies across the Asia-Pacific to promote open source literacy and governance capability.
