Origin Story of InnerSource Hero: Lessons from Practitioners on Core Values
summary
A music-based campaign at KDDI Agile Development Center distills InnerSource into two concrete practices: Publish what you create and Take action to gather feedback. After three workshops the team produces a song, README and CONTRIBUTING templates, and an InnerSource comic; the day after the song is shared a colleague opens the first Pull Request to a previously private Slackbot repo. The effort sparks company-wide guidelines and a portal, spreads to events and to Mitsubishi Electric, and wins internal recognition.
