" summary

PayPal shifts to an inner source model using GitHub Enterprise, Scala and Node.js, turns pull requests into the standard workflow after a 50-warning iOS build cleanup, and opens contribution across teams. Product velocity jumps from about three releases a year to 58 products in 2013 and 47 in H1 2014. New hires check in code the same day (9am to 1pm), contributions like Kraken and OpenStack work are already public.
