"The Open Source Programs Office (OSPO) at Johns Hopkins University is seeking a OSPO Program Manager to expand support for open-source programs and communities at JHU. By creating the first OSPO at a US university, JHU has led the way in defining what it means for an academic institution to embrace open source. The OSPO Program Manager will continue the expansion of OSPO capabilities by collaborating with faculty, researchers, staff, and students who are actively engaged in open-source software development, community management, governance deliberations, and sustainability planning. This will require the OSPO Program Manager to be well versed in the practices and methods surrounding the development of open-source software and communities. This is an opportunity to have significant influence in the development of programs and strategies to support open source in academia. Not only will you be engaging with colleagues and students at JHU, but also with other emerging OSPOs across the academic landscape as well as community stakeholders and more established open source programs in industry. This role will require a willingness to experiment in order to discover the tools, resources, and support that provides the greatest value to those engaged in open source work at JHU. If you have a passion for open source, understand its purpose, and know how to make it work well, we want to talk with you...."
