Linux Foundation Webinar

Charlotte Gayton was invited by the OpenChain Project, an initiative of the Linux Foundation, to present a webinar about her 2 year journey with OpenChain.

The webinar has two parts; the first is an overview of her industrial placement at endjin implementing the OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230 specification - the international standard for open source license compliance programs - across endjin's InnerSource and Open Source estate.

The second focuses on her final year project on the OpenChain ISO/IEC 18974 specification - the industry standard for open source security assurance programs, building on the extensions to endjin's DevOps processes and tooling used to implement ISO/IEC 5230.

Apprentice Engineer I

Charlotte Gayton

Charlotte was seconded to endjin from September 2022 until August 2023 for her Industrial Placement year, as part of her BEng in Computer Science at the University of York.

She was part of the summer 2021 internship cohort, and worked on creating a synthetic customer data generation tool to create statistically accurate "fake" data which could be used to create large volumes of realistic data for testing scenarios for endjin's customers.

During her year-long Industrial Placement at endjin, Charlotte focused on the adoption and roll out of the OpenChain ISO 5230 international standard for open source compliance across endjin's open source estate.

For her final year project at University, Charlotte will build upon the work of her Industrial Placement and implement OpenChain ISO/IEC DIS 18974 - the industry standard for open source security assurance programs. She achieved a 1st Class Honours and joined Darktrace's Research & Development team for Software as a Service Security in September 2024.
