(Y)Our Journey to Inner Source
summary
Company standardizes on GitHub and GitLab and deploys SAP’s InnerSource Discovery portal, plus a proof‑of‑concept AI layer (inspired by Shell’s Fleming) to surface implementations and repos. Governance uses an internal license and a tax self assessment with three required answers before opening a repo. Success needs contribution guidelines, active community managers and clear incentives; one example project, I3: 100+ contributions in a year, 12,200 members, shows it works but most projects still stall for time and maintenance reasons.
