The United Nations Envoy on Technology and the Office of Information and Communications Technology are hosting an event titled "OSPOs for Good: Building & Designing Cooperative Digital Infrastructure" on 21 June. The event aims to address collaboration issues among institutional Open Source Programme Offices (OSPOs). It will provide education, challenges, and networking opportunities to foster the development of OSPOs for Good. Through discussions, workshops, and interactive sessions, the event will promote this concept, explore infrastructure opportunities, and scale up initiatives. Participants will gain hands-on experience through sample organizations and case studies.
The event will also discuss the role and importance of OSPOs in governmental and public sector institutions. It will explore how OSPOs can contribute to establishing and implementing open source strategies within organizations, equipping leaders, developers, marketers, and other staff with the necessary tools for success. This perspective will be further examined in an international context, as OSPOs explore collaborative approaches to achieve shared objectives.
