Ericsson documents a concrete OSPO rollout: 26,000 R&D engineers, 20,000 OSS registrations/year, and a 60,000‑patent estate force policy tradeoffs. Active projects include OpenDaylight, Network Service Mesh, Kubernetes, OpenStack and ONAP; tooling contributions include Theia, Eiffel and work with the Continuous Delivery Foundation, OpenSSF, OpenChain and SPDX.
