The 2025 State of OSPOs report shows big regional contrasts: Americas lead with 89% adoption but see high churn, Europe struggles with long-term sustainability, and Asia-Pacific is gaining momentum with more formal OSPOs. www.linuxfoundation.org/research/osp...

OSPOs aren’t just coordinators, they’re the engine of #opensource engagement. Orgs with an OSPO are far more likely to contribute upstream, release code, and sponsor projects. OSPOs empower contribution. Learn more: www.linuxfoundation.org/research/osp...

How can open source strengthen European grid sovereignty? PowSyBl is an open source library now hosted at Linux Foundation Europe, reflects how open source can serve as a strategic lever for Europe’s digital sovereignty. linuxfoundation.eu/hubfs/LF%20E...

The new LF Europe Spotlight Report shows most orgs rely on OSS across OS, cloud, web dev, AI/ML, security, and data science. Benefits: higher productivity, lower costs, less lock-in, better quality. Yet many still use OSS without a strategy or OSPO. www.linuxfoundation.org/research/wor...
