What is InnerSource?
Common open-source development practices

contributions● informal communication channels (e.g., mailing lists, Internet
Relay Chat (IRC) channels)● self-selection of motivated contributors● frequent releases and early feedback● “around the clock” development

Evolution
The evolution into an “InnerSource” community:
1) Reduce the risks associated with in-house software development and improve IT security.
2) Foster greater accountability and a culture of meritocracy amongst the in-house software developers.
3) Identify and target in-house developer talent faster and more effectively. 4) Create more of an internal market for IT skills, which is focused on problem
solving.5) Provide metrics for remuneration and bonuses to become far more result
driven. 6) Promote more effective cross-organisational learning, and greater transfer of
knowledge and skills. 7) Support innovation in core practice.
