InnerSource Summit - ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ hybrid event - November 13

Hello @opensource community. I've mentioned #InnerSource here in the past, it is "practice of applying #OpenSource methodologies, culture and best practices to in-house software development".

I'm co-organizing a (paid yet non-profit) event about this practice. Check the agenda on the event website if you are interested in to learn more. Scholarship tickets for virtual attendees are available.

@phpinjected I created @podstation in 2015 and maintained for a long time. Peaked at around 50000 installations (it is a browser extension). Sadly, I never found the time to complete the migration to #MV3, so it is now dead for Chrome, but still alive in some other browsers. I still hope to come back to maintain it some day. It has a toooon of tech debt now :(
It never got a lot of contributions, but I'm still proud of having Open Sourced it early on.

@jbloggs777 @CapriciousDay Those problems are real for sure, but on the other hand, we also have open source enthusiasts working on such companies, and having InnerSource as a well defined practice in the industry could give them at least some "ammunition" to bring the open source culture and practices to their organization.

@CapriciousDay yup, that's something that needs to be addressed and it is a more fundamental issue. If employees are not given enough empowerment, than cross-team collaboration and innovation suffers for sure. Nevertheless I think it is possible to have this together with scrum and other agile methodologies, as long as some capacity is reserved for this type of activity that requires empowerment.

 

InnerSource - A way to spread the Open Source way / culture in organizations?

Hey @opensource, I'd like to share a bit about #InnerSource, it is the practice of adopting the open source practices and cultures for in-house software development and software-like projects.

If you are interested, there is a ton of material gathered by the community at https://innersourcecommons.org/

I'm currently working with this topic and I could not see a lot about in in the #Fediverse yet.
