Launching an open source initiative within a company is more than just publishing source code. It involves shift in mindset to foster a culture of openness, gaining support from leadership, establishing governance policy and infrastructure to facilitate it. In this talk, we will share how our OSPO enabled teams to take their first steps to open source, from internal advocacy to successfully publishing their repositories. We will dive into the key challenges like promoting a collaborative-development mindset, leadership buy-in and bringing enablement teams together to set up necessary process ensuring security. We will share the strategies that worked - teaming up with the right pilot team, building InnerSource maturity internally, recognizing contributors and maintainers of open source and innersource projects, gaining support from the leadership, conducting events like InnerSource hackathon to spread awareness about reuse and co-creation. Whether you are looking to start an open source initiative in your organization or to improve existing processes, this talk will give you insights on innovative strategies that worked for us and that can be leveraged by other organizations too.
