BoF: Collaboration with Universities and Enterprises OSPO: What's Next?
Talkat OSPOCon @ Open Source Summit Europe 2024 · on Tuesday, 2024-09-17· at 17:45· Room 0.96-0.97 (Level 0)·
summary
Universities spin up many tiny projects—typically 1–6 person teams—with PhD cycles often a year to learn plus six months to write, which creates scale and sustainability problems: large Horizon projects often “fall off a cliff” when funding ends. Enterprises require open access for funded R&D and use Model Smith (decompresses large language models to cut energy/costs) and other outputs; one research group now has six open source projects. Legal paths include Apache Foundation path for infrastructure, while CLAs are impractical at university scale.
