📈 2025 Roadmap: Hands on the Wheel
|
The team’s plans are ambitious and crystal clear:
- 📖 Handbook version 1.3 (or 2.0) is on track for release later this year, with updates and
new cybersecurity content.
- 🌐 Translation efforts are surging, now spanning Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese
(in review), and Arabic (in progress).
- 📦 Hard copies of materials can always be ordered for broader dissemination.
- 🗣️ Expect more live events, presentations, and community collaborations.
|
|
🚨 Cyber Security: Focus
|
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) continues to nurture conversations. OSPO Alliance is digging this topic:
- Reviewing GGI activities for the right level of security focus (ex vulnerability management processes),
- Supporting regulatory alignment while maintaining geographic independence (Eu, US, ..)
- Collaborating with Inno3, CNLL, and ORC Working Group to clarify strategic response based on their valuable guides
All this complements an evolving framework for open source governance that values trust, engagement, and digital sovereignty.

🧰 MyGGI GitHub Dashboard: Governance in 5 Minutes
|
Want quick governance insights? Deploy the [MyGGI Board](https://github.com/ospo-alliance/my-ggi-board) on GitLab or GitHub. It’s already adopted by 85% of participating
orgs. Track goals like “Open source enabling innovation” and “Digital sovereignty” with real-time metrics—and yes, commits have skyrocketed in the last year.

|
🌍 Translation Nation
|
The translation sprint is no small feat:
- Hosted on Weblate, the interface makes onboarding seamless.
- Languages range from French to Bengali, Tamil to Greek—with Japanese at 28% and Arabic just kicking off.
- These efforts reflect vibrant community involvement and a commitment to inclusivity across the open source landscape
