The OSPO Landscape is an interactive visual map of the open source program office (OSPO) ecosystem. It helps you see which companies have dedicated teams managing their open source efforts and which tools and projects those teams rely on. Think of it as a directory that organizes a crowded field of software and organizations into clear categories, making it easy to explore at a glance.

You can browse the landscape through an interactive website, or download it as a static image or PDF. The map is powered by a central data file that lists every project and company, along with details like their logos and funding information. To keep things current, the system automatically pulls in extra details daily from outside sources like GitHub, Crunchbase, and Yahoo Finance, enriching the basic directory with live data.

The project is primarily maintained by the TODO Group, a network of companies that share best practices for running open source programs. Anyone can suggest adding a new project or company by opening a pull request on GitHub, provided the entry meets certain criteria, such as having a public website and a clear logo. To keep the map from getting cluttered, inactive projects are periodically removed, so the landscape stays focused on active efforts.

The README is notably detailed about its strict logo requirements. To keep the visual map readable, every logo must be a scalable vector graphic (SVG) that includes the project or company name in English, and the file must not rely on specific fonts that a viewer's browser might be missing. The project also displays a best practices badge for open source projects that meet established security and quality standards, giving users a quick way to assess the health of a listed project.
