This Ask Anything session connects attendees to the TODO Group Steering Committee. The TODO Group is an open community of practitioners who aim to create, share knowledge and collaborate on best practices on open source management in organizations to run successful Open Source Program Offices.

Members of the steering committee will assist the audience through the best practices, guides, and tools made by and for open source managers to help them in their day-to-day responsibilities, as well as share their first-hand experiences and lessons learned in building and operating OSPOs. Additionally, attendees will learn ways to connect with the TODO Group – the largest OSPO community dedicated to building best practices in open source management. The session will also provide information on accessing OSPO mentorship in their local regions.
