@todogroup releases v2 of its Open Source Program Office definition https://www.fosslife.org/todo-group-updates-ospo-definition #OSPO #TODOGroup #OpenSource #policy

Consider these quotes:

“We don’t really track metrics, our focus is on building the open source culture internally and building a great community.” - Leader for a large #OSPO

“Metrics are overrated, we do pay attention to a few but it's more about establishing a healthy and engaging community” - Leader for a large #oss project

In the 2nd part of my series on measuring different parts of the #opensource community, I try to come to terms with these types of statements.

Here's one analysis with several possible factors and a few projections: https://about.scarf.sh/post/tech-layoffs-meaning-for-open-source

🌻 I recently gave a talk at @FOSSBackstage where I shared insights on how #OSPO (Open Source Program Office) help to tackle these challenges and ensure #OpenSource sustainability. Through knowledge sharing and education.

💜 I explored a different way to understand OSPOs. While they're typically seen as entities, at the end of the day, OSPOs are made up of people. So why not treat them as PEOPLE? 😉 https://youtu.be/0n0ujSU1roM
