summary
Company-level strategy builds internal communities that push code, metrics and policy upstream by embedding contribution into workflows and careers. Specifics: a GitHub onboarding tool and component governance in CI, short Microsoft 101 workshops, unified communications and a design mark, and cross-org open working groups for CHAOSS metrics, diversity and maintainer excellence. A volunteer network called Open Source Champs pairs mentors and experts, and the Microsoft Plus fund awards ~$10,000 monthly (nearing its 25th award) to nominated projects.
