Building an Open Source Community from the Ground Up: 10 Lessons Learned from Inner...
summary
Project launches at PayPal in 2014 and becomes a public US 501(c)3 that shares all artifacts; InnerSource Commons uses the Apache governance model, Creative Commons BY‑SA licensing, and pays for small gaps like marketing and bookkeeping while keeping operations lean. Metrics are used to change behavior (swapping to number of pull requests to force smaller reviews; NPS for engineer satisfaction). Events scale from 300–500 in person to a 10,000 people virtual summit, and large adopters like IBM and Microsoft run InnerSource pilots.
