🧭 Welcome to the OSPO Alliance Quarterly – October 2025 Edition
Summer is often a slower quarter but Q3 is on our path to next release so we kept it busy while nurturing good connection with our growing community from around the world. We welcomed Open Culture Foundation(TW), National Digital Twin Programme (UK) as new members also sharing their testimonials thru our OSPO Stories ! This summer we also welcomed the kick-off of Free/Libre and Open Source Software Public Sector OSPOs (FLOSS PSOs) Network a volunteer-driven initiative that aims to list and connect public sector open source program offices while promoting free software collaboration among public sector organizations worldwide learn more here .
📈 2025 Roadmap: On the road to GGI 1.3
Our commitment for 2025 roadmap has been:
- 📖 Handbook version 1.3 to be released later this year, with updates and new cybersecurity content.
- 🌐 Translation efforts to support communities willing to bring GGI Handbook to their native language, now progressing to Japanese (in review), and Arabic (in progress).
- 📦 Hard copies of materials can always be ordered for broader dissemination, let us know if you want to have them available in your market.
- 🗣️ More live events, presentations, and community collaborations.
🚨 Cyber Security: Reporting our progress
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) in Europe continues to nurture conversations following Executive Order in the US. We decided to harden our handbook for security in that perspective without being geo specific, so to recap our efforts:
- Reviewing GGI activities for the right level of security focus (ex vulnerability management processes),
- Pointing regulatory alignment needs while maintaining geographic independence (Eu, US, ..)
- Collaborating with Inno3, CNLL, and ORC Working Group to clarify strategic response based on their valuable guides.
🧰 MyGGI GitHub Dashboard: Governance in 5 Minutes
Delivered earlier this year! For quick governance insights, deploy the MyGGI Board on GitLab or GitHub. With those 2 platforms we can help enable 85% of participating orgs. Track goals like “Open source enabling innovation” and “Digital sovereignty” with real-time metrics—and yes, commits have skyrocketed in the last year.
🌍 Translation Global Nation
The translation part of the GGI handbook is no small piece of value, sometimes a bit of headache for the team (ok, table of content from right to left sounds easy) but we can see great individuals willing to spend time bringing the handbook to their community in their native language. We love ! We support ! Update
- Hosted on Weblate, the interface makes onboarding seamless.
- Languages range from French to Bengali, Tamil to Greek, Japanese (In review), Arabic (In progress).
- These efforts reflect vibrant community involvement and a commitment to inclusivity across the open source landscape, magic happens!
