The open source world is very familiar with the concept of a corporate Open Source Program Office or OSPO. There is now a growing number of governments, municipalities and universities who have also identified significant benefits of establishing an OSPO. However, public sector OSPOs tend to have a different set of priorities and services to Corporate OSPOs. This session will share real world examples of how this latest generation of OSPOs are being used to implement public policy, how the concept of an OSPO++ can enable global collaboration to scale their impact, and details of the Working Group that is helping make this happen.
