Open source software may be a 30-year trend in the making, but Open Source Program (OSPO) offices are a relatively new addition to the landscape. What are OSPOs and what do they do? How are the expectations and responsibilities of OSPOs changing as the use of open source continues to swell? Sit down with some experts from Indeed, Comcast, Microsoft and VMware to hear how open source program offices can change how YOU think about open source. From risk management to value creation and compliance management, there’s something for everyone in this lively panel discussion.
