The Ins And Outs Of Innersource
Red Hat News, Thursday, September 21,2023
Recently, you may have seen the announcements that Red Hat has become a supporting sponsor of the InnerSource Commons (ISC), and you might have wondered what that is all about. Here's the story of how Red Hat went from keeping InnerSource at arm's length to discovering how it makes sense to work together.
After all, Red Hat is committed to working with open source projects and innovating with free and open source software. InnerSource, as a concept, is regarded as a set of practices, derived from open source development methods, to produce any kind of software-open source or proprietary-within a given organization. The short version? InnerSource is a way of practicing open source methods inside the organizational firewall.
