Participants in the program will collaborate with OCV to establish and work towards clear, measurable objectives over a three-month sponsorship period, focusing on metrics such as contributor growth, community expansion, or increased adoption. OCV is committed to advancing the growth of open source through providing the sponsorship resources and aims to amplify the impact of open-source projects and position them for long term success.
