I just published The Open Contributions Descriptor format as an IETF Internet-Draft.

The Open Contributions Descriptor

This document defines the Open Contributions Descriptor (OCD), a JSON format for publishing machine-readable metadata about an organization's participation in the open ecosystem. OCD allows organizations to publish a single discovery document describing open source projects, open data publications, open standards participation, contact information, governance material, and declared relationships to external organizations and projects. OCD is intended to be published at a predictable well-known location to support automated discovery, indexing, and ecosystem analysis.
