Researchers interviewed representatives of sixteen public-sector OSPOs across the EU, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland and sorted them into six archetypes. The diagram below is their summary of what those offices are made of and what they do. On the left, the structural choices every one of them had to make: who sponsors it, which entities support it, how it is budgeted, where it sits in the organization, and how it is staffed. On the right, the work itself — setting open source strategy, overseeing compliance, writing the policies, driving contributions upstream, collaborating with outside projects, tracking whether any of it is working, practising inner source between agencies, growing and keeping people with these skills, advising colleagues, and running the open source infrastructure the organization already depends on.
