Ant Group (fintech company with 25K employees) founded Open Source Program Office (OSPO) in 2021 and over 3+ years, we've iterated our open source governance and operational support several times and eventually formed "Ant OSS Incubator", an internal structured physical/virtual team focusing on full lifecycle support for our OSS projects. Ant OSS Incubators offers not only standardized solutions of OSS education, governance support, developer experience toolings, operational cases, etc; but also tailored consulting + operational solutions for individual projects to grow from sandbox to incubation then to graduation.

In this duo-speaker session, we'll share our journey building the incubator and how Apache Way, the culture and practices, were providing invaluable support helping a large corporation like Ant Group getting to the current state.
