Has InnerSource’s Moment Arrived?

We will hear John Mark Walker, founder of Open Source Enterprise Network, discuss if InnerSource’s moment has arrived.

In a true “marketplace of ideas”, InnerSource provides the means for a healthy internal developer ecosystem. Efficient software delivery helps maintain a competitive advantage by enabling institutions to quickly adopt new innovations while encouraging voluntary standardization and minimizing operational risks.

In this talk, John Mark Walker will explore the role of an open source program office in improving the health of software ecosystems by providing avenues to improve collaboration, adopt open source practices and foster a culture of continuous improvement. John Mark will discuss some real world examples of things that worked, what could have been better, and how open source, InnerSource, and developer advocacy are all variations of the same collaboration theme.
