About the UC San Diego OSPO
The UC San Diego OSPO is a new service. Funded as part of a recent grant by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to support the development of a UC-wide network of Open Source Program Offices, this award funds the creation of a new UC wide OSPO network, a collaboration of UC campuses at Berkeley, Davis, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and San Diego with UCSC to promote open source research, teaching, and public service.
