Bottom-Up Open Source Culture
summary
Claim: applying open source working patterns internally (InnerSource Commons) actually scales platform work. Example: a four-person core team builds a continuous‑delivery pipeline and a volunteer community, runs weekly meetups, and gets 188 of 197 projects onto the pipeline so that 90 percent of commits to websites go through that repo. Tools: GitHub workflows, pull requests, contribution model, async collaboration. Result: duplicated projects vanish, teams unblock themselves, the experiment works and spreads via local social reinforcement.
