" summary

Company standardizes on GitHub and GitLab, runs an InnerSource discovery portal now on GitHub Enterprise Cloud, and measures contribution health by counting repos, license adoption and external contributions — finding one project with 48 issues from 34 users and ~50 pull requests. A survey maps the entire contribution journey, reveals scattered docs, burdensome compliance and slow feedback, and leads to concrete fixes: a license-bot that opens a PR, streamlined workflow, centralized knowledge hub, and a non‑monetary contributor reward program under worker‑council review.
