Open Source Summit Europe 2022

Open Source Program Offices and similar open source focused teams serve many organizations to provide strategy and alignment for an organization's open source efforts. Managing open source in an organization is a broad and complex topic requiring a wide scope of skills, responsibilities, team sizes, and ways of working - making it hard to get complete overview that can be shared with the wider organization or help you with managing your OSPO. The OSPO Mind Map was created by the open source community for the community to map the Open Source Program Office's key areas (responsibilities, roles, behavior, and team size) and divide them into more easily accessible parts in just one page. During this presentation, Ana and Thomas will share with the audience how this mind map is structured and how Open Source Program Office professionals can make use of the OSPO Mind Map to help implement an OSPO strategy, structure their activities and better communicate the OSPO initiative within their organization. The audience will learn the story behind the OSPO Mind Map project, a practical implementation of the mind map for their OSPO as well as ways they can contribute to the project.
