This paper presents the state of play, rationale and context of the emergence of Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) in the public sector. An OSPO is an institutional organisational construct supports and accelerates the consumption, creation, and application of Open Source software. There are an increasing number examples of OSPOs in Governments, but they are already established as best practice in the private sector. Overall, OSPOs boost awareness and technical competence on Open Source within the organisation they are built in, working strategically to achieve the policy objectives of the institution that intersect with Open Source.
After providing a thorough overview of the uptake of Open Source in the public sector domain, the paper focuses on the role played by OSPOs in enhancing openness, transparency and cooperation within and between public organisations. As such, they can help deliver value for citizens around the world at scale.
Additionally, it presents three case studies outlining best practices developed and the challenges experienced in building an OSPO by public officials at the European Commission as well as at national and local level in France.
Finally, it addresses the ways in which a network of OSPOs can benefit the public sector at large, helping reduce organisational, legal, technical and communication barriers across multiple organisations and stakeholders.Andere Autor:innenVeröffentlichung anzeigen -
Managing Career Development within OSPOs

Open Source Program Offices (OSPO) provide distinct value for businesses. But it is the distinctive nature of the work that makes OSPO professionals appear highly specialized or their job role difficult to categorize into traditional role definitions.

Open Source Program Offices (OSPO) provide distinct value for businesses. But it is the distinctive nature of the work that makes OSPO professionals appear highly specialized or their job role difficult to categorize into traditional role definitions. Further, the industry has a lack of consensus on job titles and job descriptions between OSPO professionals, community managers and developer relations professionals, with similar roles being more or less highly prized depending upon which business is doing the hiring. Combined, these issues can make recruiting junior professionals into OSPOs more challenging, and defining an upward career path for senior talent more of an art than a science.
The purpose of this guide is to help OSPO leaders build a sustainable and rewarding career path for their employees, including helping them gather depth of skills in particular areas so they’re well prepared to develop their careers in more than one area of the business.Andere Autor:innenVeröffentlichung anzeigen -
