5 Years On - Lessons Learned from Building InnerSource Commons
summary
Five years of InnerSource Commons show a community built by seeding experiments at OSCON 2015, running summits with over 1,000 attendees, publishing training materials translated into multiple languages, and getting a volunteer to rebuild the website over Christmas. Lessons include: wait for timing before scaling; use simple metrics (count pull requests to force smaller, earlier commits) because you are what you measure; recruit and coach a few real change agents; prepare communicators early to scale and praise every contribution.
