How do you set goals with a big open source program like this? How might you create structured goals without being so rigid as to not react to trends in the ecosystem?
Ben - We do both a bottoms-up and a tops-down goal creation work with a view to doing an 18 month plan. I talked to over 100 leaders across the company to understand where we were in open source and where we needed to get to. Current state, future state, gaps and plan type of framework. And in an OSPO, you are moving the needle on a company's capabilities and maturity in working with open source and the goals fall out of the current state of the open source program at my company as well as where the business goals are. Open Source goals need to support business goals as well as being a good open source citizen.
