The TODO Group in collaboration with Cloud Native Computing Foundation is thrilled to announce the launch of the physical version of the OSPO Book, a community-driven resource that captures open source management best practices through OSPOs (Open Source Program Offices).
Whether your organization is using, contributing to, or creating open source software, this book is designed to help you strategically manage your open source operations with guidance from OSPO practitioners around the world.
What’s Inside?
The OSPO Book includes collaboratively developed insights, frameworks, and tools contributed by OSPO professionals across industries. It covers key topics such as:
- Chapter 1: Introduction to Open Source Program Offices
- Chapter 2: The Value of Open Source Program Offices
- Chapter 3: Creating Your OSPO
- Chapter 4: Day-to-Day Operations
- Chapter 5: Managing Open Source Security
- Chapter 6: Using Metrics in your OSPO
The release of the physical edition would not have been possible without the invaluable help of our technical reviewers and contributors. A huge shout-out to our OSPO Book Chairs: Alice Sowerby, Fernando Correa, Zhiquian Yu, Gergely Csatari, Alin Jerpelea, Jan van den Berg, and Victor Jun Lu.
