[Improvement] Update the OpenChain Overview Slides #157
Description
Describe the improvement
The OpenChain Overview Slides are a very useful resource. I have used them many times to put together OpenChain talks for various conferences.
However, some of the slides reference data or research where newer editions could now be present. Others mention OpenChain documents for which newer versions may now be available, or newer documents altogether, or newer OpenChain initiatives have been undertaken.
In particular, I see the following improvement potential (taking the 2025-11 slides as a base):
- slide 4 - update Platinum Members (Governing Board), if there are changes to it in 2026.
- slide 11 - update with data from a more recent report (Synopsys or other): update global codebase statitics slide #158
- slide 28 - replace with more recent overview of what is happening in OpenChain
- slide 30 - the PwC study is from 2023, replace it with a newer one if available
- slides 45 et seq. - add the newly-released documents in separate slides; in particular:
and rework the Evolution in Practices slides (65 et seq.) based on what is already released and what is the new work-in-progress.
- slides 68 et seq. (In Conclusion) - those mostly reference the status quo as of 2025; perhaps they can be updated with the 2026 / outlook for 2027 content?

Agree
Need to check the PR later, but agree. Black Duck has a new OSSRA coming every year.
Agree, many things are going on (@mary0814 likely has the best for the overall picture)
I'm not sure if PwC has updates on this one. Marcel Scholze is likely the best person to ask
Agree, need to update to most recent ones. Also, I think that having just QR codes can make it a bit difficult, why not have both: a QR code and normal hyperlink?
Then some additional things:
Slide 10: I would add that the study excluded Operating Systems (Linux, etc.), so the numbers are quite a bit lower than they actually are. Personally I also had to read the study to really understand what supply-side and demand-side actually mean. I guess that we do not want to go too much details, but some additional info could be useful.
