Open Source Program Office Home
Established via a Sloan Foundation grant, the Syracuse University Open Source Project 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.
On here you will find more information about our office, including links to resources and events we host.
