Building a Network of Open Source Program Offices at the University of California

Members of the newly formed University of California network of OSPOs will discuss how partner campuses are aiming to expand the reach of research and education efforts within the UC system by leveraging open source and the expertise of all our campuses. In particular, this session will focus on how campus OSPOs can help spread innovation and knowledge to their surrounding communities. They will also address how universities can work with open source communities to expand their communities and improve project sustainability.
