A-typical but fruitful public sector collaborations through OSPO's
Collaboration in the public sector typically happens between similar organizations and through an overarching coordinating body. How a-typical is then the collaboration between the Dutch Tax Office and the semi-public Grid Operator Alliander. Yet the goals for their open source activities are similar and thus the OSPO's are collaborating to establish sound Open Source practices. Meanwhile there is a larger community of public and semi-public OSPO's that are taking on multiple shared goals.
In this presentation Karel Rietveld and Nico Rikken will go over their learnings:
- Unique benefits of an OSPO-collaboration that is national and consists of (semi-)public organizations
- Practical examples of collaboration
- How a small collaboration has grown to a larger collaboration
- The road to the current working structure with working groups
Advancing Innovation through Open Source: Lessons from the vertical industries
Open source software and collaboration models play a crucial role in fostering innovation across various sectors. Yet, companies that do not specialize in software, particularly in vertical industries where software has been seen as a commodity or an expense traditionally, often encounter challenges when integrating open source into their operations. This panel aims to address these challenges by offering insights, experiences, and best practices from Energy, Transportation, Automotive, and Public Sectors, focusing on how to effectively leverage open source to drive progress and efficiency using real world examples.
Key Topics:
- Innovation Through Open Source: Explore the transformative impact of open source in advancing innovation within four critical sectors.
- Overcoming Obstacles: Address the common challenges organizations face in adopting and contributing to open source projects.
- Policy and Governance: Discuss the significance of open source policies and governance structures, such as OSPOs, to facilitate the effective use of open source and contribute back to the community.
Attendees will learn the benefits of open source and get advice on open source strategies.
