#Zeiss #OSPO is #hiring for a senior open source advisor. Having met Holger Streidl a few times, this seems like an interesting place to work and make an impact. https://zeissgroup.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/de-DE/External/job/Mnchen/Manager-Open-Source-Program-Office--m-f-x-_JR_1044498-4

I finally have the opportunity to learn more about the #OSPO community, the network of Open Source Programme Offices, and specifically the network of academic OSPOs, as I have been invited to join the @curioss conference at @tcddublin today! If you see me around, I would be happy to talk!
Thank you Clare Dillon and Michael Meagher for having me!
@josh In addition to the other replies, the Dutch government's Open Source Program Office (#OSPO) also runs "Mijn Bureau":

Also, do you have a syllabus and bibliography for your class? I'd love to read it!

Whether you are already running an OSPO, planning to start one, or are simply passionate about open source in the public sector, get in touch.
Something's happening in the EU!

📍 Brussels — #EUOpenSourceWeek2026
#NGICommons partners are here and actively contributing 🇪🇺
This morning, @FabriziaBenini
Now on stage @ManuelGoyet is part of a panel on #EUCloudEdgeIoT, exploring OSPOs as drivers of institutional learning, collaboration, and governance, and how EU policy could scale openness across sectors like energy, transport, and public administration.
Manuel Mateo Goyet previews that #OSPO will have a role in CAIDA and the Open Digital Ecosystems Strategy.
He reveals that the Commission is thinking about how to make systems like the DC-EDIC more structural across EU Member States.
Supriya Chitale, #OSPO Manager at IKEA explains that IKEA's OSPO makes the company a better open source citizen and promotes sustainable collaboration with the open source community. To create a formal collaboration structure, IKEA set up a review board to support coworker’s use of open source.
:freesoftware: Today at the @OpenForumEurope hosted EU Open Source Policy Summit, @mxmehl highlights how the structure of an industry-wide #OSPO can help competitors use #FreeSoftware to address problems too big for them to work on alone.
We welcomed the city of #Barcelona's soon-to-be-announced #OSPO into the EU OSPO network today, hosted at the European Commission. 🥳
It's nice to see that the city where Decidem was built, that has always had a progressive #opensource digital strategy (and strong ties with Amsterdam), will have an official OSPO soon. 🇪🇸🇪🇺

Kaum hat Berlin eine OpenSource Strategie, hat @stefanziller auch gleich was zu meckern
https://stefan-ziller.eu/2026/berlins-neue-open-source-strategie-ist-unambitioniert/
Er hat natürlich Recht. Für Berlin ist das ein Riesenschritt, aber notwendig wäre ein Sprung. Hier ist die Strategie
Und das ITDZ soll ein OSPO aufmachen? Das ist gerade wieder pleite
