A-Typical but Fruitful Public Sector Collaborations Through OSPO's
summary
Two Dutch OSPOs pair a public tax agency with a semi‑public grid operator and grow a national network from two to 18 organizations through biweekly working groups, shared GitHub knowledge bases and a public site. They build SBOM pipelines (prototype → production), pick CycloneDX SBOMs for standardization work and run an OSPO code scanner and scorecards to audit projects. Automation and an open‑source checklist accelerate publishing; a government index already lists about 2700 repositories and a national SBOM standard request is filed.
