The OSPO Playbook: Supercharging Open Source at Scale
summary
Explains how an OSPO runs at scale with concrete numbers and actions: establishes a team of five at LambdaTest, defines six principles and six core functions (legal compliance, contribution workflows, community management), cites a claimed $100M legal risk and Microsoft’s $500M-savings example, reports 23% higher retention for engineers involved in OSS, and uses practical tactics—open‑source champions, clear policies, training and a graduated process that reduces overhead on small projects while focusing oversight on critical ones.
