Volvo Cars' OSPO Journey - Drive OSS Maturity Level
summary
Volvo Cars forms an OSPO in 2022 and runs it with four people after about 1 year 10 months of grassroots work, adopts OpenChain in April, joins Kisa Foundation, and publishes 32 GitHub repos focused on tooling and products. A mandatory 4-minute training video plus a 45-minute e‑learning and regular live sessions build awareness; a network of part‑time open source Champions ties teams to the OSPO. They automate license/security checks, aim for an one to two weeks release target for open projects, and track component inventory and compliance.
