The TODO Group has released v2 of its Open Source Program Office (OSPO) definition. The new version is “more inclusive and reflects the reality of OSPOs expanding outside purely the corporate sector and into the public sector,” the announcement says.
Updates include:
- Reasons why to form OSPOs within organizations
- An in-depth description that contemplates the human side of OSPOs
- Ways OSPOs can be formed within an organization
In the WHY section, for example, the definition says:
To the outside, an OSPO serves as a vital bridge between an organization and the open source community, helping to ensure that the organization is a good steward of open source software and can reap the benefits of open source adoption while minimizing risks. To the inside, an OSPO serves as a central interface for open source related activities across the organization and to bring together the required expertise from different perspectives, such as a legal, economical, technical, or community perspective.
