Enabling Opensource at scale across an enterprise - The InnerSource approach

Embracing open-source ways of working within an enterprise can drive innovation, collaboration, and efficiency, but implementing it at scale comes with challenges—siloed teams, governance concerns, and cultural resistance. This is where InnerSource comes in.

InnerSource applies open-source principles, practices, and collaboration models within an organization’s internal development ecosystem. It enables teams to break down silos, improve code reuse, accelerate development cycles, and foster an open-source culture—even within private repositories.

In this session, we will explore:

✅ What InnerSource is and how it differs from traditional open-source

✅ How to adopt InnerSource principles to encourage transparency, shared ownership, and cross-team contributions

✅ Best practices for scaling InnerSource—governance models, contribution workflows, and tooling considerations

✅ Case studies from enterprises successfully leveraging InnerSource to drive innovation

✅ Overcoming common challenges—adoption hurdles, incentives, and balancing InnerSource with business objectives

Whether you are a developer, engineering leader, or enterprise architect, this talk will equip you with the strategies and frameworks needed to enable open-source collaboration at scale within your enterprise—turning internal projects into thriving, community-driven initiatives.
