CFP Categories:

• OSPO+AI: This topic discusses how Agentic AI supports and enhances the daily operational efficiency of OSPOs. Key discussions include current best practices, tool integration solutions, and future trends in automating open-source management workflows.
• Software Supply Chain in AI Era: This topic discusses the security, transparency, and compliance challenges of the software supply chain in an AI environment. It focuses on how enterprises address open-source governance and risk prevention during global expansion and cross-border distribution within complex development ecosystems.
• Agentic AI and Open Source Governance: This topic discusses the technical evolution and ecosystem development of autonomous agents, while objectively reviewing the current governance of Agentic AI. Contributions to open-source projects are undergoing a paradigm shift, transitioning from human-to-human collaboration to human-to-agent and agent-to-agent (e.g., MCP) collaboration. The transition from “open source” to “Open Skills,” along with new open-source paradigms such as MCP and skills, presents unprecedented challenges for OSPOs that require joint discussion to address.
• LLM and data governance: This track discusses the governance and compliance frameworks for Large Language Models (LLMs). Topics cover data provenance review, privacy compliance, potential legal risk prevention, and relevant intellectual property management systems.
• OSPO in different sectors: This topic discusses the specific circumstances of OSPO development or need OSPO support across different sectors, such as the internet, robotics, and automotive industries. OSPO pioneers from various fields are welcome to share their frontier practices.
