These Open Source Guides are developed by the TODO Group in collaboration with The Linux Foundation and the larger open source community. They collect best practices from the leading organizations engaged in open source development and aim to help your organization successfully implement and run an open- source program office. We expect these guides to be living documents that evolve via community contributions.

Also, we will ask about adding an initial draft of the proposed guide (this can be changed later). This issue is raised to the TODO Community reaching for feedback and new contributors.Open a PR that links to the issue: Such PR should make editions to todogroup.org guides folder by adding a new.md file. For instance, if your proposed todo guide is “how to set up an OSPO” the md file should be stated as “how-to-set-up-an-ospo.md”
Step 2: Review Process The TODO Program Manager, Steering Committee, and the TODO Community can provide feedback and review the PR.
Step 3: Guide Publication Once the guide is finished and ready to go. The PR is merged and the guide will appear at todogroup.org
Step 4: Outreach The new guide will be promoted on TODO SM channels, OSPONews and OSPOlogy upcoming sessions. Moreover, the contributors participating in this guide can request to have this guide added as an LF blog post by contacting info@todogroup.org
