The InnerSource Commons provides a forum for the community to share their experience and learn from each other in the form of InnerSource Patterns.
An InnerSource Pattern - That’s what we call InnerSource best practices codified in a specific format to make it easy to understand, evaluate, and apply them in your context.
The InnerSource Patterns Working Group is providing the following services to our community
Facilitating the identification of patterns in various contexts such as our Community Calls and through discussions on Slack.
Helping the Community to mature patterns by reviewing them and providing examples of instances where the pattern has been used.
Providing a space for companies to collaborate on patterns in GitHub.
Publishing the most mature patterns in the InnerSource Patterns book.
Providing discoverability tools such as the InnerSource Patterns Mind Map.
