Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) are facing a new layer of responsibility as agentic AI moves into production. The post breaks down the agentic AI stack into model and harness components, explaining how OSPOs can apply existing skills in provenance, policy, and ecosystem engagement to this new context. Key open protocols and tools are introduced — MCP, AGENTS.md, Agentgateway, and A2A — mapped to concrete OSPO responsibilities like reducing vendor lock-in, standardizing contribution policies, and enforcing audit requirements. The Linux Foundation's TODO Group has launched a working group specifically to help OSPOs navigate this shift.
