Dr. Ibrahim Haddad Speaking Topics
As Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) mature, they often follow a familiar trajectory: starting as reactive, risk-mitigation functions and evolving into strategic enablers that influence everything from engineering velocity to ecosystem engagement. This talk maps that evolution, highlighting the inflection points where OSPOs can shift from simply preventing mistakes to driving competitive advantage. We’ll explore how mature OSPOs balance governance with growth, align with business priorities, and earn a seat at the strategic table.
In today’s geopolitical and security climate, OSPOs are at the forefront of risk forecasting and mitigation. From software supply chain vulnerabilities to growing regulatory pressure and international tensions, open source risk is no longer just a legal issue: it’s a strategic concern. This talk examines how OSPOs can engage with legal, compliance, and engineering teams to manage security and sustainability risks proactively, and why trust and transparency are now essential assets.
In the ever-evolving landscape of software deployment, the twin challenges of security and license compliance have become a critical focus across the global supply chain. This surge in attention has catalyzed innovations and the emergence of startups dedicated to addressing these multifaceted challenges. Concurrently, legislative efforts spanning the US, EU, China, and Japan underscore the importance of software security and the imperative to track software components. Join Dr. Haddad in this talk as he delves into the intricate realm of license compliance and security through the lens of software composition analysis. In addition, he will address the unique challenges posed by Generative AI technologies in the realm of security and compliance, discussing potential risks and mitigation strategies. The presentation will unveil common issues encountered and offer insights into their resolution within the framework of policies, automated tooling, educational programs, and active involvement in organizations leading the charge to create solutions through the collective efforts of companies, universities, governments, and open-source projects.
Open source initiatives and projects provide enterprises with a vehicle to accelerate innovation through collaboration with a global community of developers. The success of a few early adopters in mastering open source development has sparked a race among numerous companies to establish their own open source management offices, and they're staffing these offices with highly skilled individuals to drive towards open source software leadership. To master open source software, an enterprise must master four key facets: consumption, compliance, contribution, and community. In this talk, Dr. Haddad will explore the journey of open source mastery and offer practical recommendations on how to support your organization in its transformation to an open source first company.
The past decade has witnessed an unprecedented adoption of open source software by enterprises for the various advantages it offers. The massive adoption of open-source software came with significant legal and compliance responsibilities. Enterprises and development organizations have since then started establishing policies around open source usage (and contribution), and implementing engineering development processes to ensure that software products that deploy are in compliance. This presentation provides a guide to doing compliance the right way (one of many) with an overview on setting up an open source compliance program and institutionalizing best practices.
