2025-12-03 — ๐Ÿ“ฃ Good Governance Initiative 1.3 is released!

We are very happy and proud to announce that release 1.3 of the initiative is now available as committed in our 2025 roadmap collaboratively established with users.

GGI handbook release 1.3 features a set of key updates:

Cybersecurity: Activities have been reviewed and challenged against security considerations. This perspective is reinforced due to todays’ increased focus on cybersecurity, amplified by regulations (US Executive Order 14028, EU Cyber resilience Act). In this release, security in activities are tuned in that perspective while strictly avoiding being regulation or geography specific.

Deploy My-GGI-Board on GitLab/GitHub: Reflecting the demand from organisations, it is now possible to deploy My-GGI-Board on your own GitLab/GitHub spaces. This will create an Issues Board for a clear overview of your current activities and a static website to share progress and current work.

Translations: Handbook content is now available in 9 languages listed here, both in a PDF each and online HTML. Based on Weblate and automation scripts, the handbook may now be generated with content and table of contents with different alphabets.

Enhancements & corrections: This version also contains updated links, minor corrections or updated wording based on user feedback. Full roadmap and release history is available on our Gitlab.

The GGI methodology helps implement organization-wide open-source strategy and set up an OSPO โ€œOpen Source Program Officeโ€, it is broadly adopted thanks to availability in 9 languages lowering accessibility or regulation barriers and can now benefit 95% of organizations by supporting major version control platforms to deploy MyGGI Board.

The OSPO Alliance welcomes new supporters with more than 50 members, we support the FLOSS-PSO network announced during United Nation Open Source Week (NY) and welcome companies delivering consultancy services in relation with the Good Governance Initiative.

We hold quarterly updates to share our progress and gather feedback. Also the OnRamp monthly meeting series is a unique communication channel set up to give more visibility about the existing learnings from best practices, but also to showcase testimonies and real-life OSPO stories.

๐Ÿ’– Big and warm thank you to all our contributors! ๐Ÿ’–

๐Ÿค Come and talk to us about the next expected features, many of us will be attending Open Source Experience (Paris).
