A New OmniBOR Website

Posted on October 16, 2024

The OmniBOR Project has a new website, new documentation, and for the first time, a project blog!

If you're reading this, then you can already see the new look of the OmniBOR website. This new website does include a substantial redesign, intended to work better on both desktop and mobile, but it also includes a substantial addition of new content!

The project website now hosts the OmniBOR specification. Our intent is to keep this updated with any new release of the specification. If you'd like to track the pre-release updates of new versions, we also link to the omnibor/spec repository.

We've also added new documentation intended to provide a more accessible explanation of Artifact IDs, Input Manifests, and the other key concepts underlying what we're doing with OmniBOR. If you're brand new to OmniBOR, we recommend you start with this new documentation before diving into the more detailed specification.

Finally, the new site has a blog! This is the first post on that blog. In the future we'll be using this to provide updates on the project, to share information about work we're doing around the open source ecosystem, and more.

As always, OmniBOR is a project that benefits enormously from the involvement of a broad community of people. If you're interested in solving the challenge of universal software identity, we'd love for you to get involved!
