summary
A new distributed OSPO model sets up a 20-member committee supporting thousands of engineers and shows steady growth in inquiries, but most work falls to a few active volunteers; 65% of requests are about using OSS, 14% about contributing, and 20% require cross-department legal or IP input. Only 18% of initial reports include product/context details, slowing triage, yet just 9% remain unresolved after investigation. Recommendations focus on mandatory onboarding, templates for required fields, and cross-team training to close the talent gap.
