Criteria and Process for Evaluating Open-Source Documentation

As the open source and safety (and security) communities collaborate more closely, there’s an opportunity to build trust by showcasing how open source development aligns with key safety principles. As part of the ELISA Seminar series, Pete Brink, Principal Consultant at UL Solutions and ELISA Project ambassador, recently presented the process designed to adapt to a variety of projects and contexts, including evaluation criteria.

This video aims to introduce a flexible, practical framework for evaluating documentation that supports trustworthiness in development practices. The goal is to empower teams to highlight their commitment to quality and safety in a way that works for them. Watch here:


The ELISA Seminar Series focuses on hot topics related to ELISA’s mission to define and maintain a common set of elements, processes and tools that can be incorporated into Linux-based, safety-critical systems amenable to safety certification. Speakers are members, contributors and thought leaders from the ELISA Project and surrounding communities. Each seminar comprises a 45-minute presentation and a 15-minute Q&A, and it’s free to attend. You can watch all videos on the ELISA Project Youtube Channel ELISA Seminar Series Playlist here.
