An open source project to empower OSPOs everywhere
Blog post from GitHub
GitHub has launched an open-source repository named github-ospo to assist organizations in establishing their own Open Source Program Office (OSPO), a crucial element for managing open source strategies, policies, and processes within a company. This initiative underscores the increasing reliance on open source software, with 90% of businesses utilizing it, and highlights the importance of securing these tools as security vulnerabilities in open source software have risen by 4% in 2022. GitHub aims to foster a more accessible open-source environment by sharing tools, processes, and best practices from its OSPO, and encourages the community to contribute to this project to build a collaborative and sustainable open-source future.
