InnerSource Culture and Value Closed-Loop Practice
summary
Huawei documents a failed 2014 pilot and a 2020 relaunch that grows into 3,000+ projects with 35,000+ contributors and about 2,050 million lines of code; governance adds an inner source office, a technology committee, mentors and ambassadors and a four‑level infra (public repo, discovery, contribution pipeline, recommendation). Built outcomes include the openx website, faster unified simulation across departments, reduced duplicate work, tens of thousands of users, score‑based incentives, career recognition, annual investment of ¥6.5M and product integrations for standout projects.
