✨ OSPOlogy is a platform for the study and open community dialogue about the state of open source management within organizations across various sectors.
OSPOlogy is an initiative by the TODO Group. Our collective resources, including frameworks and templates, are freely available for any organization to use, providing proper attribution to the repository and brand.
The official forum (OSPOlogy GH Discussions) facilitates discussions on open source management, exploring its role across specializations (e.g., security, AI infrastructure, business strategy), addressing shared challenges (e.g., measuring the value of open source management and OSPOs), and fostering community-driven proposals.
Note
By using OSPOlogy frameworks and attributing the brand, your organization is helping unify efforts and enhancing the visibility of the strategic value of open source management talent across diverse industries and business areas to key stakeholders, reducing resource fragmentation and duplication
These webinars cover OSPO-related topics with special guests and community discussions. All sessions are recorded, edited, and available on the OSPOlogy YouTube Channel. Explore the event page and past sessions here: OSPOlogy Webinars.

Since 2024, OSPOlogy Webinars are no longer active and these are being replaced with OSPOlogy TODO Touchpoints
Regional meetings (AMER, EMEA, APAC) provide open agendas and office hours for collaboration. Meeting schedules are available on the community calendar.
Formerly called OSPO BoFs, is a framework consisting of semi-informal discussion sessions held at conferences, where participants with shared interests come together to discuss open source management and OSPO challenges and its strategic value in security, innovation, and collaboration within different industries, specializations, or technologies (e.g. Cloud Native, Energy, Automotive, Security etc). Current adopter includes the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)
Important
Framework used for OSPOlogy BoF
