OPEN SOURCE PROGRAM OFFICE (OSPO)


ABOUT THE OPEN SOURCE PROGRAM OFFICE

Established via a Sloan Foundation grant, the Syracuse University Open Source
Program Office (OSPO) serves as the center of competency for open source
operations and structure and is responsible for defining and implementing
strategies and policies to guide open source research efforts. This can include
recommendation and investigation around code use, distribution, selection,
contributing, and other key areas; providing education and training to people
(inside and outside the university) involved in open source activities;
supporting the university’s efficiency in developing software through
encouraging sustainable usage of existing open source components and, where
appropriate, contributing enhancements back to these project; when needed,
guiding teams with open sourcing their software; ensuring engineering
effectiveness; ensuring compliance; and promoting and building community
engagement.

Additional resources, documentation, and event details are available on the Open
Source Program Office Answers page.
