Start an open source center of excellence in 10 minutes using GitLab

Open source software has become a mainstream topic in the software industry, prompting organizations to explore best practices for engaging with it. Many companies form open source program offices (OSPOs) to lead their efforts in the open source ecosystem, capitalizing on the innovation and security benefits it offers. The OSPO Alliance, established in 2021, aids organizations in navigating this space by providing resources like the Good Governance Initiative (GGI) Handbook, which outlines 25 adaptable best practices for engaging with open source. To facilitate the implementation of these practices, the Alliance launched the MyGGI project, enabling organizations to quickly set up their own OSPO infrastructure using GitLab. This project provides a framework for tracking progress through scorecards and iterating on activities in a way that suits the organization's specific context. The deployment process involves creating a GitLab project, configuring access tokens, and running a CI/CD pipeline to establish a dynamic static website that tracks the organization's open source activities. This tool supports the visualization and management of open source initiatives, helping organizations structure and manage their engagement with open source projects effectively.
