Open Source Program Offices serve many organizations to provide strategy and alignment for an organization’s open source efforts and ensure open source  continuity in the long term. Managing open source in an organization is a broad, dynamic, and complex topic requiring a wide scope of skills, responsibilities, and ways of working - making it hard to get a complete overview that can be shared with the wider organization or help you with managing your OSPO.

This presentation shares a set of recommendations and best practices to build your minimum viable OSPO (MVO), and how to ensure it aligns with the organization’s  processes, work environment, and structure. Also, this presentation provides a list of existing resources and tools from the TODO Group and sister open source  communities (e.g the OSPO Mind Map) to use to help implement an OSPO strategy.

The audience will leave with a step-by-step MVO checklist to take you from idea to proposal, to better communicate the value of adopting a strategic posture around open source within your organization.

Intel® was one of the earlier companies to embrace open source and participate in open source contributions. The company's vision of open source is to enable explosive innovation by creating and participating in open standards organizations that benefit Intel's products and technologies, by creating and contributing to fundamental open source software projects that benefit the Intel ecosystem, and by facilitating the expansion of the company's business through the power of the open community development model. Based on this vision, Upstream First has been a fundamental philosophy for the company and every software engineer on the road to open source for nearly 20 years. This keynote will introduce how Upstream First works at Intel®, how the company's open source organization is structured, and which open source projects are working with this philosophy, and finally share with you how to gain the trust and influence of the community in the process of open source contribution, which we often talk about as trust and reputation.

The basic practices involved in working openly will also be reviewed.

Closing Remarks

Open source software can be extremely effective when it is well managed. However, to get maximum benefit, it is important to have good management processes. This talk will explain the ISO standard for open source license compliance, a new standard for security assurance, and other global solutions for the supply chain.

Since 2015, ByteDance has begun to explore active open source, and in 2022, ByteDance officially announced the establishment of the Open Source Committee, which means that the importance of open source strategy in ByteDance has been further enhanced, and at the same time, ByteDance open source will gradually move from being driven by engineers to an organized "regular army".

In recent years, the open source movement has played an integral role in the proliferation of information technology. With its model of free sharing and development of computer software, the open source movement has had an extraordinary impact on the development pattern of the world's information industry. Open source has become a popular trend among enterprises, and has also become a strategic direction and business model for them. Although the current level of enterprise open source use is steadily increasing, there is still a certain degree of risk, and the awareness of open source norms and normative processes needs to be urgently enhanced. The China Academy of Information and Communication Research has compiled the OSPO Maturity Model to focus on the practical experience of OSPO, to measure the development status and trend of OSPO in China in terms of development background, responsibility structure and application effectiveness, and to measure the development path, long-term positioning, organisational structure, daily work and internal and external effectiveness of OSPO in China, as well as to gather excellent practical cases of OSPO in Chinese enterprises to promote Chinese enterprises It also brings together the best practices of OSPO in China, and promotes the development of OSPO in China to a new stage.

This presentation will introduce a collaborative network-based contribution calculation method for open source communities. Based on this statistical method, a series of mechanisms such as contribution ranking, point exchange, contribution rebate, role mining and other related mechanisms can be built to help the community to operate digitally and attract more developers to participate in building open source communities together.

Ant Group is now in its third year of establishing OSPO. If we went from 0 to 1 in 2021, and 1 to 5 in 2022, we are now in our third year in 2023. There have been several iterations of methodology, practice and view of talent. I look forward to sharing this journey with OSPO practitioners, colliding and exchanging ideas to make the next journey possible.
