Congratulations to the Managing Open Source Software in Irish Universities (MOSS-I) project on the recent publishing of a ‘Framework for Managing University Open Source Software’. This document serves as a comprehensive guide for universities looking to develop or refine an open source software framework. It provides the foundational knowledge and tools needed to create an environment that supports open source that is aligned with the unique needs and goals of each institution. The project welcomes feedback on the document via the MOSS–I project repository.

The MOSS–I project received funding from NORF under the 2023 Open Research Fund.
