Your entire technology stack rests on open source software. Without it, your developers would have to focus on everything but writing software that generates revenue. Your entire foundation depends on it, so why does your open source strategy stop at license scanning?

Investing in open source is not charity, it is a strategic imperative, and it is time to take advantage of it.

By establishing an Open Source Program Office (OSPO), you give your company the means to go from consumer to contributor, from reactive to proactive innovation. Even if your company produces proprietary software or you're a consultancy, you will find that sharing time, money, and code can be your strategic edge.

Whether you're building an OSPO from scratch or shifting an engineering culture upstream, this talk gives you the logic to make the case and the concrete steps to start.
