summary
A mature firm reorganizes open source work around three practical moves: create real channels for discussion (deploy Discourse or Stack Overflow only after studying existing Slack/Teams use), treat inner source like open source by tracking first-time-to-issue resolution and mentoring contributors, and set measurable experiments (aim to contribute to 10 projects as a starting KPI). The talk reports rolling out inner source, wrestling with leadership top-down habits, and finding that culture, not tools, determines whether collaboration actually scales.
