Open Source Summit Japan & Automotive Linux Summit 2021

Towards Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) and candidates, this session proposes methodologies to identify OSS and partners in order to know which OSS should be invested in by enterprises. The introduced methodologies are two methodologies for: (1) capturing the world technological trends, and (2) identifying key players for each OSS. The former addresses the issue that even OSS professionals are trapped in bias due to their rich experiences and they feel laborious to keep up with the latest trends. Objective data will support decision making by professionals in OSPOs. For the latter, being able to analyze the data means that predecessors exist. Leading players who had better to be followed, partnered with or competed with are revealed. In this session, the results are provided in addition to the methodologies. These results will answer the demands that business units want to know the overview about OSS.
