InnerSource in Government

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Three years of work in the Geneva state administration yield concrete moves: internal development runs on GitLab with GitLab→GitHub sync to publish external repos, CI/CD and code quality checks in place, and an OSPO finally approved as of yesterday. Challenges include politics and poor communication, five to six redundant date libraries across teams, permissive repo settings that allow direct edits instead of merge requests causing a messy workflow, and a planned developer portal plus training and gamified screens to increase discovery and contributions.
