In 2020, we want to learn from best practices in how companies create effective open source strategies, how their open source programs are structured, and how they measure success.

The TODO Group is a set of companies that collaborate on practices, tools, and other ways to run successful and productive open source projects and programs.

Open source program offices help set open source strategy and improve an organization’s software development practices. Every year, the TODO Group performs a survey to assess the state of open source programs across the industry, and today we are happy to launch the 2020 edition.

Last year, over 2,700 people participated in the survey. As a result, we were able to learn: 

  • Adoption of open source programs and initiatives is widespread and goes beyond early adopters and; 
  • Hiring of open source developers is a prominent concern, and; 
  • Companies value their open source foundations

In 2020, we want to learn from best practices in how companies create effective open source strategies, how their open source programs are structured, and how they measure success.

We are also asking how macroeconomic conditions and COVID-19 are affecting open source. Survey closed.
