innersource's Introduction

FINOS InnerSource Special Interest Group

InnerSource can help break down silos, encourage internal collaboration and innovation, accelerate new engineer on-boarding, and identify opportunities to contribute software back to the open source world.

Introducing the InnerSource SIG

The FINOS InnerSource Special Interest Group is a community of people implementing, or interested in implementing, InnerSource within their financial services organization.

The InnerSource SIG is of particular importance to financial services organisations who wish to accelerate their InnerSource practices, share best practices, patterns and anti-patterns and potentially related code (e.g. for InnerSource tooling) in a secure environment, with the aim of contributing proven methods to FINOS and the wider InnerSource Commons community.

Where appropriate, the InnerSource SIG will also work with InnerSource Commons to share relevant outputs upstream to the broader InnerSource community.

Discussions have an emphasis on challenges and concerns that are particular to FS organizations (e.g. relating to compliance or regulatory constraints).

The InnerSource SIG target audience are individuals responsible for InnerSource implementation within financial services organizations, those in Open Source Program Offices interested in open source culture, behaviour and skills, or tech leaders wishing to increase collaboration and remove / deal with excessive ownership issues that can stall innovation.

Quick start

InnerSource License Generator Working Group

The InnerSource SIG is actively developing a tool that can be used to generate InnerSource Licenses. This work is in progress in FINOS Labs and you are welcome to join the development effort InnerSource License Generator - Github

Mailing List

All SIG related communications are conducted through the [email protected] mailing list. Email [email protected] with questions or suggestions for collaboration use cases. Join the mailing list and stay up to date by sending a note to [email protected].

Contributing

  1. Fork it (https://github.com/finos/innersource/fork)
  2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b feature/fooBar)
  3. Read our contribution guidelines and Community Code of Conduct
  4. Make your changes on the fork. Ensure any documentation and code changes are formatted correctly by executing npm run fmt (see below for setup instructions). If npm run fmt isn't executed, the build will fail.
  5. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some fooBar')
  6. Push to the branch (git push origin feature/fooBar)
  7. Create a new Pull Request

NOTE: Commits and pull requests to FINOS repositories will only be accepted from those contributors with an active, executed Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA) with FINOS OR who are covered under an existing and active Corporate Contribution License Agreement (CCLA) executed with FINOS. Commits from individuals not covered under an ICLA or CCLA will be flagged and blocked by the FINOS Clabot tool. Please note that some CCLAs require individuals/employees to be explicitly named on the CCLA.

Need an ICLA? Unsure if you are covered under an existing CCLA? Email [email protected]

Workstation Setup

To ensure a smooth contributing experience, please ensure you follow the workstation setup. This project makes use of Prettier to format all Markdown documentation to ensure consistency across the whole repository. Prettier is built on Node.js, which will need to be installed. To ensure your document changes are formatted correctly, follow these steps:

  1. Install the latest LTS Node.js either by downloading an installer, using a package manager like Homebrew (brew install node@16 as of this writing), or a version manager like nvm or asdf.
  2. npm install - NPM now ships with every Node.js installation.
  3. npm run fmt - this executes the formatting script.

    • Are there any leads we need to act upon?
  • OSSF NYC Panel Planning. How can we expand on the success of London? 🤔
  • @amaltson Hacktoberfest - I was wondering if you'd be open to having the InnerSource SIG (and maybe FINOS in general) participate in Hacktoberfest? I was hoping to add our repo, and if we can create it, the matrix repo, as participants in Hacktoberfest. All that's needed is to add the #hacktoberfest topic to the repo and it qualifies. I'm organizing an event at work to participate in Hacktoberfest and would love to devote focused time to making forward progress on some of what we've talked about 🙂
  • AOB, Q&A & Adjourn (5mins)

Discussion

Maturity Matrix

  • Update from James to say we can contribute under CC BY SA.
  • Decided that we will contribute into the InnerSource SIG repo.
  • Decided we will use doc format, with sections for each table cell (not reproduce table of current pdf).
  • Decided we will use Markdown and Docusaurus.
  • Action - Clare to enquire whether we can get help from ISC in conversion.
  • Note that Open Source Maturity Matrix (from OSR group) also now intending to contribute under CC BY SA.

OSSF

  • Great feedback from our panel sessio - format (mixed recording and live) worked really well.
  • There was a proposal that we do something similar for OSSF New York event - However, unfortunately, word from the OSSF New York event organizers is that they are prioritizing in -person talks. Instead, we plan to do a sequel to the panel for a future FINOS virtual event.

Discussion re Hacktoberfest

  • Re. InnerSource Matrix: Decided that we will contribute into the InnerSource SIG repo. Decided we will use doc format, with sections for each table cell (not reproduce table of current pdf). Decided we will use Markdown and Docusaurus.
  • Agreed it would be great in principle - but that it is not a priority for this year for the InnerSource SIG because we are not set up due to timing and the requirement for contextual knowledge to help with the maturity matrix.
  • However, if anyone in the group would like to take on getting registered and working under the Hacktoberfest banner - that would also be welcome.
  • There was a note that we should have a mechanism to track future planned work items - like a plan to get involved with more notice next year.

Other

  • SIG Co-lead Position still open - accepting nominations here: #22. We hope to close this at the next SIG Meeting

  • Reminder from InnerSource Commons to get signed up for the InnerSource Summit 2021 - all virtual - running November 17th & 18th. There are a number of Financial Services themed talks with Elspeth Minty (Morgan Stanley), Gil Yehuda (US Bank), Jesus Alonso Gutiérrez (Santander), and Matt Cobby (National Australia Bank) all talking. And lots to learn from other industry insights too! Visit https://bit.ly/3BuCa65 to register.

Reminder the cadence of the InnerSource SIG meetings has changed to once every 4 weeks to allow for time for other contributions. Next meeting is November 8th - and you can add any agenda items to the GitHub issue here: #38

Use standard REUSE formatting for licenses

Feature Request

Description of Problem:

This repository currently has multiple licenses applied (for good reasons!). It is not clear which license is associated with which content in the repository.

Potential Solutions:

The standard REUSE formatting and approach for licenses supports tight alignment of licenses with individual files (https://reuse.software/tutorial) through a developing standard. There is also a helper tool that can be set up as a GitHub Action (see https://github.com/marketplace/actions/reuse-compliance-check) to ensure compliance at commit.

Highlighted by @vmbrasseur (#39 (comment)). Needs to be discussed by @mcleo-d, @amaltson and @copiesofcopies against the wider FINOS governance and boilerplates.

FINOS InnerSource Licenses

Finos Inner Source License

Description of Problem:

The application of inner source within a Financial enterprise requires more clarity in terms of permissible use and clear definitions of boundary particularly with the involvement of 3rd Party vendors and partners. Inner Source can sometimes be mistaken as Open Source causing issues. It would be good to have some clear do and don't when you get your hands on inner source code. The license should also encourage sharing code back in certain scenarios.

If we have a common and popular set of inner source licenses:

  1. It would be less of a cost for an organisation to adopt (vs define an organisational license/contract/etc)
  2. Popularity similar to Open Source will make developers more comfortable contributing to inner source
  3. A shared inner source license would be easier to defend in court
  4. We are applying the principle of Open Source to how we define the inner source license, which seems like the right way to do it

  • FINOS SIG meetings may be recorded for use solely by the FINOS team for administration purposes. In very limited instances, and with explicit approval, recordings may be made more widely available.

SIG Operations

  • Discussion about how other SIGs work. Example, the Cloud Readiness meets every 2 weeks, have a Kanban board and actual tasks through there.
    • This is part of the formal process is to setup the mailing list, setup the repo, allow people to join.
    • A number people already expressed interest, we may reach out to them after.
    • Went a bit slowly as people were hesitant to provide code.
  • How does this relate to the InnerSource Commons group?
    • InnerSource Commons is upstream, so the FINOS SIG is safer space for FinTech companies where they've already signed NDAs, etc.
    • Any patterns should be considered for transfer to InnerSource Commons.
    • Working group towards FinTech participation in the larger InnerSource Commons.
    • Good example, the Marketplace from Deutsche Bank. Let's say that Deutsche Bank wants to Open Source it, this SIG will work to help make sure that project is usable for everyone, not just the banking industry.
    • Another goal of the Commons was to help larger institutions get credit for what they're working on vs. the semi-old school way of being quiet about their con
    • FINOS will not squat on the trademark of InnerSource Commons and once the trademark is made, FINOS will license it.
  • How do we prefer to communicate between each other?
    • Since Slack is not accessible for everyone, FINOS in general recommends something more open.
    • @mcleo-d also suggested the new GitHub Discussions, might consider it.
    • For now will follow the standard FINOS practice.
  • Logo discussion will kick off on the mailing list.
  • Suggestion that the first few meetings are more around discovery of where different people are at in terms of InnerSource and getting on the same page.
    • Perhaps make the first meeting longer?
    • Maybe have a rolling "share your experience" slot in each meeting.
    • Maybe start small, understand each of our areas and what we want to achieve.
    • Key outcome from sharing could be what do we want to achieve. How do we standardize starting in InnerSource for FINOS organizations and the broader group.
    • Structure: 10 minute presentation, 10 minutes of chat and questions per person. 30 minutes round table. So 2.5 hours with the end of what we want to achieve.
  • Already booked March 3rd to have another Open Source readiness event.
  • Meeting timing: morning for the EST folks and evening for the GMT folks.
  • February 17th for 2.5 hours from 8:30am to 11am. Just the 6 of us with the aim to agree initial themes for the SIG to explore. Meetings can subsequently be opened to the wider interested audience.

Open Source Readiness March 3rd Meeting

  • If we wanted, we could follow the same format as the previous meeting where the first 30 minutes was 2 presentations: someone shares their InnerSource work or experience and an industry (?) update, then 30 minute panel/Q&A.
  • A number of the leadership team has already given a presentation, call for participants.
  • Discussed @amaltson and Roderick's talk, agreed this talk would have some interested parties at the Open Source Readiness meetup.
  • This would mean the format would be a 30 minute presentation and then 30 minutes of discussion.
  • Question arose whether we could play an existing recording of the talk.
  • It'd be possible to do it live, but @amaltson needs to check with Roderick about his availability and willingness to do it live.
  • Technical hurdle to doing it live, WebEx doesn't work with @amaltson's DSLR as webcam setup, even though Canon claims to work with WebEx.
    • @amaltson could in theory present off the laptop camera, just needs to reconfigure desk.
  • Definite preference on the pre-recorded talk if possible.

Logistical Steps to Get SIG Set Up

  • finos/community#84 checklist covers most of the setup.
  • Project communication channel is outstanding, will make a mailing list at least for invites.
  • Repository transfer, question of whether the InnerSource Commons patterns repo has been forked yet.
  • Need to work with FINOS marketing around announcements and press releases. FINOS team will help posting it on social media, etc.
  • Onboarding training is something we all have to do.

Agenda

  • Convene & roll call (5mins)
  • Display FINOS Antitrust Policy summary slide
  • Provide @mcleo-d the GitHub profiles of the InnerSource SIG Leadership in the comments of this issue to add to the SIG maintainers group on GitHub.
  • Provide @mcleo-d the InnerSource SIG repository description which will also be used on https://landscape.finos.org/
  • AOB, Q&A & Adjourn (5mins)
  • Goals and operation of what we want to achieve as part of this SIG.
  • Plan out participation in the Open Source Readiness group, which will meet about this SIG every 2 months.
  • Number of standard logistical steps to go through per @mcleo-d.

Decisions Made

  • Arthur and Roderick will present at March 3rd Open Source Readiness session.
  • @anvacca volunteered to present at the Open Source Readiness meeting in May or the one after.
  • @anvacca will facilitate the 2.5 hour February 17th meeting.

Agenda

Minutes

  • Reviewing InnerSource Commons State Of InnerSource Survey 2021
    • Went through @claredillon's presentation summarizing the survey.
    • Interesting to see the changing reasons behind why invest in InnerSource, breaking down silos and improving happiness at work. Maturing to open source falling lower down the scale.
    • Biggest barrier is middle management buy-in and lack of time.
      • Only a minority at 13% get all the time they need to contribute to InnerSource.
    • Discussion about advertising or lack thereof for InnerSource projects, maybe an opportunity to add to Maturity Matrix.
    • InnerSource Commons participation is shifting from grass roots to top down as a strategic importance.
      • Recognition still very much lacking.
    • Team readiness - ready to review changes as they come, but when contribution changes requires difficult conversations, less team readiness on that.
    • Project readiness - documentation still a top level concern.

Make contributing easy with automated workstation setup

Feature Request

Description of Problem:

Once we get #36 complete, and some of the other capabilities like Docusaurus are added, there'll be some additional setup required to get all the tooling running. This can be a barrier of entry for contributors, so we should consider making it easier.

Potential Solutions:

One potential solution is to add support for GitHub CodeSpaces in this repository. Furthermore, since CodeSpaces uses VSCode Dev Containers under the hood, it'd be worth adding that support as well, especially given many of our contributors might not have access to CodeSpaces behind their firewall.

Notes

Update from Maturity Matrix Working Session:

  • 2 hour working session took place on Wed May 19th.
  • Volunteers taking first pass at the project-focused matrix.
  • Goal to have doc circulated to the rest of the working session team by Friday 28th
  • Next meeting on Wed June 2nd (invite sent).
  • Progress will be reported at SIG meeting on Jun 7th.

Ask for what other topics we could focus on in the future:

  • Noted that a previous suggestion was to focus on terms of reference for third party vendors working with FS orgs on InnerSource projects.
  • Agreed that would be useful. Noted that there are no references for this to do that are known in the industry.

Short discussion followed regarding this challenge:

  • Context for vendor InnerSource engagements could include staff augmentation, project work or managed service delivery.
  • Some things to work out include: visibility and access guidelines for vendors, sample contract language, incentives, and strategy requirements.
  • Agreed not to be considered in maturity matrix conversation, as might over-complicate.

Other areas discussed:

  • Having common technology would be useful.
  • Perhaps we should have a representative in the SIG who could play devil’s advocate around regulatory challenges and suggested mitigations.
  • To address any reticence to engage in public forum, we could engage privately instead of asking to join the general calls, perhaps through interviews and summarize feedback.
  • Ideally we could also identify common blockers or areas of common resistance in organizations.
  • Regarding “open by default” repos - it was noted that “open by default” repos does not equal InnerSource, nor does InnerSource require “open by default” repos.
  • Experience shows there are a mix of policies, common terminology will definitely help.
  • Suggestion we could gather and publish data on who is adopting particular policies and how?
  • James gave update on discussion between SIG and ISC: ISC uses CC BY SA for materials, we want to make sure that we have process to work effectively in that context. James, other FINOS/LF team members, Clare and Danese are working towards resolution so we can work together effectively.

Decisions Made

  • Topic for next SIG is the report out from the Maturity Matrix work.
  • Agreed we should continue to capture interesting themes for future
  • Doc will be distributed before the review call.
  • Noted that we should also be mindful of the tools that we use to most easily collaborate: Not everyone can use every platform and some are easier to use than others.

Action Items

  • Graham to follow up with Colin from ScottLogic to get status on planned FINOS survey.
  • Clare to share State of InnerSource 2020 survey results.
  • Ivan to share some events by Citizens Bank that are promoting Open Innovation.
  • James to review as well to see if FINOS can get involved.

InnerSource Maturity Model?

All,

I wanted to ask if anyone has developed or come across an inner source maturity model.

Specifically I am looking for something that could be used to evaluate internal projects across multiple relevant dimensions to assess the degree to which a project is already demonstrating attributes and capabilities needed to effectively "do inner source" (perhaps w/o the project team even having known what inner source is -- e.g., perhaps they already work to a "public" roadmap within the 4 walls of their organization.)

I was thinking (and might argue that) these dimensions might be similar to those that @mindthegab, @copiesofcopies, @pmonks and I used a few years back to build the FINOS board report and health check rubric, but perhaps not.

Again, use of the model would be the assess projects inner source readiness across 6-8 dimensions, and an associated rubric.

Thanks,

Rob

Notes from Meeting

Purpose of this work:

  • Working together to compare existing Maturity and Capability Models to come up with a canonical set we’d like to endorse for InnerSource SIG at FINOS and at InnerSourceCommons.org
  • This should allow people to:
    • Self-assess readiness
    • Build development plans / goals

Extant list of existing Maturity Models for InnerSource

https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/blob/a9e136eb57fd927c12ee27827e35cd7215226e53/patterns/2-structured/maturity-model.md

Understanding the Open Source Checklist : https://innersourcecommons.org/learn/books/understanding-the-innersource-checklist/#:~:text=Do%20you%20want%20your%20day,allow%20more%20collaboration%20and%20reuse%3F

Some orgs also have multiple models in use internally - and we may get learnings from them.

Other Resources that might be useful

Summary of suggestions for consideration in this work

  • Make need different areas to consider
    • e.g. org and project maturity may be different
    • We may want to consider other contexts e.g. technology and culture E.g. mainframe code - code owners don’t have SMEs who understand the complexity of changing API or % of legacy code and % orphan code.
    • Tools and enablers in place may be useful to include.
    • We may also need to consider context for the implementation e.g. opportunity provided by central CI/CD implementation or code review?
  • Think of levels as stop, start, performing?
  • Don’t put the starting requirements too high, recognise people may already be showing good behaviour.
  • Checklists are handy

Signals of maturity

  • Org Level
    • Code open by default?
    • Are there projects upon which you collaborate across discreet teams?
    • Where is the code stored?
    • Where is the documentation?
    • Can outside [of the team/business unit] contributors raise a PR and get it to Production without prior discussion? I.e., are the rules of the road clearly documented?
    • Is testing framework available for local testing?
    • Capacity planning to allow InnerSource activities (both contributing and maintaining, but also refactoring/modernization of the legacy codebases)
    • Dedicated staff to enable/accelerate InnerSource adoption?
  • Project level
    • Are basic documents in place per codebase?
    • Do they have strong READMEs?
    • Do they accept contributions?
    • Published roadmap?
    • Nightly builds?
    • SLAs for code reviews
    • Do you have multiple people contributing and using the like-minded projects ?
  • Tools and Enablers:
    • Search/discovery of the code, APIs, shared libraries
    • Automated linting, tests of all levels
    • Automated CI/CD pipeline, including deployment gates, to provide additional quality assurance
  • Culture:
    • Self-driven by individual enthusiasts
    • Included in your annual goals
    • Projects proceeding into InnerSource without push from leadership
    • Do you trust your employees, is that evident?

Discussion about how metrics

  • How can metrics be used to incentivise InnerSource, as relates to maturity matrix?
  • Can incentivise behaviours with metrics - but may need to evolve those measures over time.
  • How to encourage good owners?
    • E.g. private repos to opening repos to documentation.
    • Project can be deployed right away based on README
    • PIpeline / testing already there.
  • Publishing roadmaps? Current pushback against that.
    • One option is to publish event horizon (to stop others spinning up separate efforts).

Decisions Made

  • ...

Action Items

  • SIG to arrange next meeting as working meeting to flesh out maturity matrix
  • Danese Cooper volunteered to create a starting document by synthesizing the existing maturity matrices.

Agenda

Minutes

  • We reviewed the questionnaire for the deep dive and initiated it's use with Deutsche Bahn
  • It was mentioned that many other known companies also have inner source licenses, but they are not published like Deutsche Bahn and publicly available
    • The representation from DB felt a shared inner source license would be of value
  • Key Insight from the discussion at the SIG meeting
    • Inner Source license has brand value in the organization
    • It is part of the gradual process of professionalizing inner source
    • Included in the license protection is application code, Devops config, data, documentation
    • The inner source license is used only within the organization and not with vendors
    • Licenses are well know mechanism in Open Source and a natural extension for Inner Source
    • License is a tool for the expected behaviour but enforcement depends on a lot of factors including local laws
      • For example certain warranty terms are not compatible with German law
      • The license a more valuable communication tool than it is a hard legal instrument
    • In particular Tax law is a key are of focus with transfer pricing as a result of inner source
    • The owner of the code can be sometimes blurryP
    • The use of copy left is less strong than in the open source world
    • contributors get recognised directly by GIT contribution tracking
    • Internal career recognition, copyleft and an element of fun are drivers for inner source
    • The Inner source licenses is provided with no-warrenty but that is not the best instrument for getting support
    • The governance body for the inner source license is informally the OSPO

Action Items

  • Setup next Inner Source license WG meeting - Chamindra
  • Tidy up clauses.MD with variations from DB - Chamindra
  • Look running Inner source questionnaire at Citi - Chamindra / Katrina
  • Seek other organisations that have an inner source license for deep dive similar to DB - All
  • Follow up on backstage inner source discussion - James / Andrew?

Ensure all documentation is formatted the same way

Feature Request

Description of Problem:

This repository mostly contains documentation, most of which is formatted in Markdown. It'd be great if we had a consistent way of formatting the Markdown documents and also making sure they conform with the markdownlint linter and it's clear for everyone how the documents should look. Furthermore, for longer docs it'd be good to have a Table of Contents to make it easier to navigate.

Potential Solutions:

The Prettier project is a great way to format Markdown docs in one consistent format and ensures it follows markdownlint.

Furthermore, we should consider having up to date table of contents in longer pages. We could use the VS Code Markdown All In One plugin to generate the initial table of contents and keep it up to date.

Announce InnerSource SIG and First Scheduled Meeting to FINOS Community

Description

As we get closer to the first InnerSource SIG meeting, it would be great to send out an InnerSource SIG announcement to [email protected] that includes the date and time, plus a link to the first meeting agenda.

Documentation to identify different Inner Source License Clauses

Feature Request

Description of Problem:

When I am looking for a guideline to create an inner source license I want a document that will identify different clauses that can be potentially included in my license. These clauses and options will be used in turn to create a license generator similar to Creative Commons

When I am working with the inner source licensing working group I would like to be able for people to add content to this document directly through pull requests such that there is tracking of contributions and a review process of additions.

Potential Solutions:

  • Create a clauses.md document in a new licenses doc folder on the inner source repository

  • Update on James’ proposal for an OSPO round table prior to the OSFF in December to discuss Chamindra de Silva’s proposal for InnerSource licenses. cc @robmoffat
  • What do we want to do for the OSFF in December? There’s a number of ways we could get involved and it’s a good way to highlight some of the work that’s been done this year, particularly the maturity model.
    • The FINOS Open Source in Finance Forum is running on December 8th in NYC and we're inviting FINOS Projects / SIGs to take part in the OSFF opportunities below.
      • The OSFF Project Expo is a showcase of production consumer use cases where FINOS Projects / SIGs can demonstrate the impact they're delivering to consumers. We'd like to invite your consumers to showcase your project use cases in order to accelerate project consumption and attract more collaboration.
      • During OSSF we're running FINOS Project Booths where OSFF attendees can find your FINOS Project / SIG and ask direct questions. We've done this previously at OSFF London and invite you to take part at the Open Source in Finance Forum in New York City.
      • Has your FINOS SIG submitted an OSFF NYC Call for Proposals? It would be great to see your FINOS SIG on stage celebrating 2022 progress and achievements.

Request for Prior Work on Inner Source Licenses and CLAs

Stage 1 of Inner Source Licensing Working group: Gather prior work

The first stage of the inner source licensing working group that was kicked off on the 7th Nov 2022 (Ref #72) is to gather all (sharable) present work being done on Org Specific Inner Source Licenses, Inner Source CLAs, Inner Source Contracts, Guidelines for the purpose of analysis to identify a common set of clauses for our Inner Source license generator.

If you feel you cannot share your Org Inner Source license / contracts due to compliance/sensitive reasons consider obfuscating/generalising them or breaking down into some key terms you can share on this forum.

Alternatively if you do not wish to publish it directly here, please do share it with me or the Inner Source SIG leads so that they can share it without attribution to any org (under Chatham house rules)

This would be a very valuable contribution to the goals of the Inner Source License Working Group

Meanwhile I am listing here some of the prior work I have found in this area so far:

  1. Inner Source Commons: Inner Source license pattern
    https://patterns.innersourcecommons.org/p/innersource-license
  2. Create innersource-contractor-model-terms InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns#378
  3. Create transitioning-contractor-code-to-innersource-model InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns#377
  4. DB Inner Source License
