summary
Dynatrace treats open source as a product: use an open source candidate questionnaire on GitHub, align work to company and upstream roadmaps, and mirror issues into internal tickets so contributions follow product processes. After three years the OSPO is a top fifth contributor to OpenTelemetry with 6–7 full-time upstream approvers, and helped create OpenFeature (CNCF Sandbox, ~2 years old) with vendors covering ~60–80% of the feature-flag market. Track governance roles, contribution types, and adoption to justify headcount and roadmap choices.
