Driving the InnerSource Program at SAP
summary
SAP runs a focused InnerSource program that builds a public knowledge base, a template repo and contribution guides, plus a crawler-backed InnerSource Portal that surfaces repos by GitHub topic and ranks them with a repository activity score; an automated linter enforces checklist items. Surveys show 23% awareness among developers but 88% potential contributors, and adoption is happening in pockets. A dojo with belt system trains maintainers; a 10-person core team coordinates tooling, trainings, pilots and a contributor-journey optimization effort.
