Danese Cooper (PayPal) Interview - OSCON 2014
summary
PayPal hires a head of open source to drive a cultural shift: they build an inner source workflow so engineers submit pull requests, mentor contributions, and gain committership; they open parts of the stack (notably the Kraken project built with Node) to increase cross-team knowledge and recruiting; they move from one or two releases a year to 58 releases last year by shifting to platform-as-a-service, DevOps practices and frequent small deployments.
