Open Source Software
The University of Texas at Dallas

The Open Source Program Office at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD-OSPO) is committed to guiding the development, use, and management of open source software for UTD faculty and student researchers. We aim to offer training and resources on development best practices, planning for open source software integration throughout the research lifecycle, and open source licensing. By promoting the understanding of these ideas within UTD, we hope to enable sustainable solutions for research and to drive the sharing of the innovative work of UTD researchers with the global community.
