Do you engage in open source-related tasks within your organization? You know that collaboration is key. Here are three ways to engage and network with your open source peers and leverage your organization’s open source program!
Aiming to provide continuous education and ease OSPO adoption across organizations, the TODO Group, in collaboration with the Linux Foundation, launches OSPOCon 2022 Call for Proposals. OSPOCon is the premier event for Open Source Program Offices to share information, solve problems, and learn how to build effective Open Source initiatives within organizations.
Why consider submitting a proposal to speak at OSPOCon?
OSPOCon is a go-to place where those working in open source program offices (or similar initiatives) in organizations can:
Overall, people can come together to learn and share best practices, experiences, and tools to overcome OSPO challenges and similar open source initiatives.

TODO comprises individual community contributors and 70+ organizations with years of experience running open source programs. They all want to collaborate on practices, tools, and other ways to run successful and effective open source projects and programs. We have a wide range of ongoing OSPO initiatives where everyone (from the most seasoned OSPOers to students) can participate and become a contributor.
Why consider attending the next Work Day meeting?
A good practice to keep learning from OSPOs is to share knowledge and be inspired by other community participants that run open source initiatives when working on common tooling and resources.
TODO organizes Work Day activity monthly meetings to ease community participation and work together with other OSPOers and open source experts on the various issues and PRs in the TODO Group GitHub organization.
Work Days have even a handful of things sorted by TODO project contribution level that we expect people to work during these meetings.
