As open source grows in importance, more (semi)public organizations recognize its value. However, (semi)public organizations face unique challenges in adoption.

For organizations new to open source, developing a strategic approach and ensuring internal readiness can seem overwhelming. From engineering and technical teams to legal, finance, marketing, and executive leadership, aligning stakeholders on responsible and open source participation is critical—but not always straightforward. Many organizations address this by establishing an OSPO to create policies, provide training, and share best practices for open source adoption and contribution.

This panel brings together Open Source leaders from the Dutch (semi)public sector to discuss strategies for managing open source and fostering open source readiness. Panelists will share insights from their own open source journeys, offer practical guidance, and explore best practices for building open source engagement. The discussion will also highlight the role of open source in advancing Digital Sovereignty, ensuring organizations maintain control over their digital infrastructure while leveraging the power of open collaboration.
