How Should Your OSPO Work with InnerSource?

on YouTube ↗47m

" summary

Gartner lists InnerSource among top software engineering trends and companies use it for four clear goals: engineering efficiency, innovation, developer happiness, and preparation for open source. Practical patterns: use repo linters and SBOMs, segment contribution metrics by org chart, run Champions and hackathons, and set a remediation playbook for vulnerabilities (WellSky). Tooling examples include a Backstage plugin and SAP’s project portal; the InnerSource patterns book gets thousands of views monthly.
