InnerSource - A way to spread the Open Source way / culture in organizations?
Hey @opensource, I’d like to share a bit about #InnerSource, it is the practice of adopting the open source practices and cultures for in-house software development and software-like projects.
If you are interested, there is a ton of material gathered by the community at https://innersourcecommons.org/
I’m currently working with this topic and I could not see a lot about in in the #Fediverse yet.
I think the issue is that whatever “empowering” process you try to convince executives of, they will inevitably implement the form of it which gives them the most power which usually means overhead for development teams. Unfortunately it’s one of these things where if you really want to empower developers, you have to give them ownership. Not metaphorical ownership, but literal ownership of the company.
