2022-06-09 , OW2con main virtual room

As the software engineering field gets more mature, properly managing open source software and culture within organisations has become more important and needed than ever. In this context, the Good Governance Initiative offers a much-needed set of actionnable guidelines to hep frame, build and develop OSPOs within any type of organisation.

During this roundtable, we will discuss OSPOs, their role and duties, and share experience and best practices with our panelists.
