14-year OSPO journey begins with Tizen in 2012 and evolves into a culture change program that builds a core component program and an open source leader career path, runs Contributor Days (since 2013) and an annual SourceCon conference (since 2014), operates compliance and governance tooling, funds leader travel and titles, and finds the tradeoff that many trained leaders leave but amplify brand and hiring; now prototypes AI agents to automate compliance checks while keeping community incubation and developer enablement as human-led work.
