OSPOlogyLive Apeldoorn
Join the third OSPOlogyLive Europe in Apeldoorn (part presentations, part roundtable sessions) to help organizations navigate Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) operations and management in European regions. OSPOlogy Live is hosted by the OSPO at the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration (Belastingdienst) and co-organized with Linux Foundation Europe, InnerSource Commons Foundation, Foundation for Public Code, LF Energy, OpenChain, SPDX, CHAOSS, TODO Group and OpenSSF projects.
OSPOlogyLive Apeldoorn is intended for people engaged in OSPOs or similar initiatives (FOSS Offices, Open Source Centers, etc) in the public sector of organizations based in Europe. All presentations, topics, and discussions are expected to fall under the context of public administration and government. If you are more interested in the enterprise side of an OSPO, please don't miss the next OSPOlogy Live Europe in May. More details to be announced soon.
As seats are limited to 100 people, we recommend that attendees RSVP in advance.

👩🏫 Presentations and Speakers
Navigating and growing; The OSPO adventure for the Dutch Tax Administration Speakers: Karel Rietveld, Alain Schoovers We have started our journey almost 2 years ago and are continuously evolving our strategy. Starting from a practical perspective in Using Open Source, how to contribute and how to publish. We discovered through doing what we needed to have in place on policy perspective. Moreover, Alain Schoovers will explain how our OSPO works with the team of BOLD on publishing our first project.
Overview of the Dutch Knowledge Network Around Open Source
Speaker: Jacco Brouwer
During this presentation, Jacco will share what the Dutch Knowledge Network has been working on the past year and what will we be working on the upcoming year.
The CRA and OSPOs in the Public Sector Panel Discussion Panelists: Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Cheukting Ho, Boris Hoytema, Jonas van den Bogaard
Moderator: Mirko Boehm
This panel discussion addresses the influence of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) on Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) in the public sector. It explores the adjustments OSPOs must make in response to the CRA, emphasizing the changes at various levels.
Using CHAOSS Metrics Models for Contributing to and Consuming OSS Speakers: Dawn Foster The data available about open source projects can feel like a tsunami, but there are ways to make this more manageable by finding and focusing on the metrics that matter the most for you. One of the ways the open source CHAOSS project overcomes the data tsunami is by grouping collections of metrics and placing them into metrics models to help you select the right metrics models for your OSPO's needs. The metrics models you use will be different depending on whether you are measuring outbound / upstream contributions to open source projects or inbound / downstream consumption of open source software within your products or infrastructure. This talk will help your OSPO navigate the complexity of using metrics and metrics models to meet the unique needs of your organization.
Reporting from SBOM land - recent developments and best practices
Speakers: Thomas Steenbergen
Things in SBOM land are moving fast and it's hard to keep up with the various community calls, conferences and workshops. Thomas has been active in the SBOM community for many years as maintainer of various SBOM tools and co-author of SPDX SBOM standard. In this talk Thomas will recap recent developments and shared best practices in a series of easy-to-understand problem & solution statements to help with your SBOM implementation.
Using the Standard for Public Code now and in the future
Speakers: Jan Ainali
The Standard for Public Code is a collection of good practices to enable a codebase to be easy to collaborate on. This talk will shed a light on how to apply it to a codebase and what the benefits are. Many public organizations have already had their codebases assessed towards the Standard for Public Code and found the insights provided useful. In keeping with the spirit of the standard, we are evolving the governance to have the Foundation for Public Code less in the center and instead transition towards an open source governance model with more community involvement. We'd like to share the roadmap for that and collect some feedback.
The Foundation for Public Code, OSPOs, and stewardship organizations
Speakers: Elena Findley-de Regt
In the last 5 years, the Foundation for Public Code has developed a stewardship practice together with public organizations and growing codebase communities. Based on our experience, we'd like to make a pitch for how stewardship organizations like the Foundation can help your codebase communities thrive and become sustainable. This should lead to a thriving ecosystem of interconnected codebases and OSPOs.
InnerSource and InnerSource Program Offices (ISPOs)
Speakers: Georg Gruetter
What is an InnerSource Program Office (ISPO) and why would I want one? What are the responsibilities of an ISPO and how are they different from those of an OSPO? Shouldn't we practice Open Source rather than InnerSource, anyway?
🙋♀️ Featured and Unconference Roundtables
Roundtables are a format of open forum discussions designed to illuminate common questions and challenges in a particular field. They serve as a collaborative platform where participants can come together to explore solutions, share best practices, and collectively overcome obstacles. In these sessions, the meeting notes are taken with great care to ensure anonymity and inclusivity. These notes are then shared in the OSPOlogyLive repository under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY 4.0) license. This open-access approach allows for the broader community to benefit from the insights and solutions generated during these discussions, ensuring that the knowledge and ideas developed are freely available for everyone to reuse and build upon.
Roundtable sessions are led by community participants. These sessions are divided into two categories: Featured Roundtable Sessions and Unconference Roundtables. Featured Roundtable Sessions are pre-defined topics. In the unconference Roundtables, the topics for these sessions are elected by the attendees on the same day, allowing for the exploration of current and emerging issues that are most relevant to the participants.
[Roundtable A] Building an Open Source Foundation for Your Container Capabilities What Role Does OSS Play in Building an On-Premises Container Platform That Provides Our DevOps Teams with the Capabilities to Build, Deliver, and Run Their Software Products? Led by: John Leegte, Concern IT Architect at the Dutch Tax Administration
[Roundtable B] Sustainability & IT
Exploring the integration of sustainable software engineering principles into open source projects, focusing on enhancing environmental impact, energy efficiency, and long-term viability. This roundtable will discuss advancing sustainability in open source development, with an emphasis on creating software that is both energy-efficient and supports sustainable community practices. We will also evaluate the role of these sustainable practices in improving the effectiveness and lifespan of open source projects, particularly within the public sector
Led by: Nikki Winands, Concern IT Architect CTO Office at the Dutch Tax Administration
[Roundtable C] OSPO Impact: Let's get Practical, get Connected, building our Future Together
In this session; we’ll review the current state of OSPOs in Higher Education, Cities, Nations, and Industry. We’ll dig into questions of: What is an OSPO? What is a Connected OPSO? Why are OSPOs being built? How are OSPOs being used, and their potential going in the future. This breakout session is an interactive deep dive into the practical uses and needs of OSPOs while at the same time looking at the public policy objectives being sought by OSPOs in all sectors
Led by: Jacob Green, OSPO++ Founder
[Roundtable D] To be elected by the Attendees
The topic for this session will be elected by the attendees on the same day
