Research projects produce various outputs such as software, code, data, and hardware. When these products are made available via an open-source license, anyone can publicly access, modify, and distribute them to others. However, ensuring that these products continue to remain useful over time can be a significant challenge. Additionally, organizations that maintain these open source products need to sustain themselves. Optimal management of an Open-Source Ecosystem can help ensure that the open-source product on which the ecosystem is based has maximum impact over the longest possible lifetime, while also minimizing potential security and privacy risks. As part of NSF’s Pathways to Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) program, this project will develop a training program to teach awardees the best practices necessary to ensure that their open-source ecosystems are secure and sustainable. Some of the materials that will be developed for the training program, such as case studies of successful existing projects and recordings of talks by experts, will be made available so they can benefit others beyond the program.An Open-Source Ecosystem (OSE) is a sustainable organization that enables the ongoing, collaborative, asynchronous development of an open-source product that may be based on data, software, and/or hardware, and that is designed to be publicly accessible, modifiable, and distributable by anyone under an open-source licensing model. The primary goal of the POSE training program is to help enable participants sustain and maintain their open-source ecosystems. This program has four intended impacts: 1) to help teams identify a relevant and sustainable OSE to match their research needs; 2) to define broad societal impacts for OSEs; 3) to develop and curate a set of best practices for building secure and sustainable open-source ecosystems for any open-source product; and 4) to amplify the reach and impact of materials through various outreach mechanisms.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

研究项目产生各种产出，例如软件、代码、数据和硬件。当这些产品通过开源许可证提供时，任何人都可以公开访问、修改它们并将其分发给其他人。然而，确保这些产品随着时间的推移继续保持有用可能是一项重大挑战。此外，维护这些开源产品的组织需要自我维持。开源生态系统的优化管理有助于确保生态系统所基于的开源产品在尽可能长的生命周期内产生最大的影响，同时也最大限度地减少潜在的安全和隐私风险。作为 NSF 开源生态系统之路 (POSE) 计划的一部分，该项目将制定一项培训计划，向获奖者传授必要的最佳实践，以确保其开源生态系统安全且可持续。将为培训计划开发的一些材料，例如成功的现有项目的案例研究和专家的演讲录音，将可供使用，以便他们可以使计划之外的其他人受益。开源生态系统 (OSE) 是一个可持续的组织，它能够持续、协作、异步开发可能基于数据、软件和/或硬件的开源产品，并且其设计为可公开访问、可修改和 任何人都可以在开源许可模式下分发。 POSE 培训计划的主要目标是帮助参与者维持和维护他们的开源生态系统。 该计划有四个预期影响：1）帮助团队确定相关且可持续的 OSE 以满足他们的研究需求； 2) 定义 OSE 的广泛社会影响； 3）开发和策划一套最佳实践，为任何开源产品构建安全且可持续的开源生态系统； 4) 通过各种外展机制扩大材料的覆盖面和影响力。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
