Background:

However, the intricacies of managing these projects can present formidable challenges. Recognizing this, Intersect's Open Source Office (OSO) stands ready to provide crucial support services.

Open Source Office (OSO) Support Services

Intersect’s Open Source Office offers a strong backbone of services to Cardano open source projects, built around the goal of sustaining most project needs outside of just code management and technical decisions. We will offer an enhanced set of services via professional staff that cultivate the maturity and increased adoption of Cardano related open source projects. We take a data driven approach to working with our project and maintainer community; we actively survey to improve our services and community satisfaction on top of featuring services in our community spotlight/essential cardano/cardano 360.

These services will be offered as part of community stability, but do not replace developers on the projects themselves and are never meant to be in the critical path of a project release or a full time resource. Our goal in providing these shared services is to cultivate projects on Cardano and the builders graduating and incubating projects, offering sandbox projects in the space to grow into incubating projects.
